'NEVER FEAR'
Produced & Mixed By JIMMY HARRY, 2012 Golden Globe Winner for 'Best Song'
REVIEWS of 'NEVER FEAR'
---------------------------------
"The songs are great, suggesting the finest moments of The Mekons "
CMJ MAGAZINE 'Jackpot' !
"Joe Hurley is one of N.Y.'s most entertaining frontmen. His distinctive vocals can be raucous as all get-out, and as sorrowful as a baritone can be"
VILLAGE VOICE
"Celtic-tinged R & R with unshakable pop hooks, mixing guitars & keyboards with mandolin & tin whistle, Rogue's March celebrate drinking, depression, and strife, with songs thickly coated in black humor.
"Shut Up and Drink" and "Amsterdam Mistress" (which rhymes "pints of guinness" with "lots of slow kisses" ) make for perfect St Patrick's Day wallowing"
NEW YORK TIMES
"Rogue's March are a fantastic band who have managed to capture the same excitement they create during a show in a tight, raw, studio recording, NEVER FEAR. This 14 song collection is an exuberant package featuring a heap of memorable music."
NEW YORK POST 'CD Of the Week'
"Musically tight & hugely entertaining, Rogue's March play an inspired hybrid of C&W, Irish Trad,and R & R.
'NEVER FEAR' showcases songs such as "Joyriding", which is as poignant and reckless as anything this side of the Stones' "Gimme Shelter", and "I'm In Love (But Not With You)" which recalls the turn on a dime riffs of Jam era punk. "Amsterdam Mistress" is one of the most evocative ballads ever penned"
IRISH VOICE
"On NEVER FEAR, you'll find jig-rockers like "A Rose is God's autograph"; poignant ballads, such as the glimpse of an 11-year-old's world in a dysfunctional family in "When You Feel Like Crying", rousing Grecian Folk tempos on 'Whispering Salvation" and an unusual bent to songs like "I'm in Love (but Not With You)" and the cheerfully preposterous notion of a bleary 8am mind in "I Wish My Wife Was A Country Singer"
Rogue's March sell-out shows (1,500 at Irving Plaza) & radio airplay is brisk. Artists such as Marianne Faithfull are coming by to sit in with them, and in an MTV interview, the Band played their single 'Bend in The Road'. NEVER FEAR is out now (Caroline Records).
WOODSTOCK TIMES
There is true magic on NEVER FEAR, from the upbeat screamers like "Shut Up and Drink" to the gorgeous ballads like "Amsterdam Mistress" & the medley of influences works. Rogue's March turns up the heat in a very American way."
PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
"Rogue's March combines the attitude and drive of the Sex Pistols with the wry lyrical detail of say, a Richard Thompson or Lyle Lovett"
NEW YORK PRESS
"Esteemed rocker Joe Hurley leads Rogue's March, a stately combo that uses New York's roots-rock cognoscenti to interpret the shape of traditional Irish Music"
TIME OUT NY
"I came away with a new favorite NYC band, Rogue's March, whose "Shut Up and Drink" is a sure party anthem for the end of the century."
THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"Joe Hurley's voice sounds like the morning after a good bender on Guinness, whisky, heartache, and nicotine. And that voice is pure gold. Hear it on NEVER FEAR, from Rogue's March, the muscular punk-Irish-country-English music hall-cabaret band Hurley fronts"
NEW JERSEY RECORD
"At the Guinness Fleadh on Saturday, Joe Hurley and his large Celtic crew gave what would be one of the most talked about rock performances of the festival".
NEW YORK POST
"I came away with a new favorite NYC band, Rogue's March, whose "Shut Up and Drink" is a sure party anthem for the end of the century."
THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"When not touring with their new CD 'Never Fear' Rogue's March draws crowds including Marianne Faithfull (who jammed with the band onstage), director Jim Sheridan, Timothy Hutton, Martha Plimpton, The Mekons, Matt Dillon, and Denis Leary.. Joe Hurley is revered for his soulful baritone"
NEW YORK MAGAZINE
"Joe Hurley has the best set of pipes you'll ever hear"
UPSTAGE MAGAZINE
"Rich, poetic imagery, with charismatic Celtic ballads and love songs that sound like a late night heart-to-heart with the bartender, such as the newly-minted classic 'Amsterdam Mistress' with the lyrics "Pints of Guinness, lots of slow kisses, we were almost in love, my Amsterdam Mistress"
IRISH ECHO
"That was MARIANNE FAITHFULL at Paddy Reilly's on Sunday, checking out JOE HURLEY's great band, Rogue's March. Faithfull arrived with Oscar Winning director JIM SHERIDAN, ("My Left Foot") and screenwriter TERRY GEORGE. Faithfull ended up onstage belting out songs from Rogue's March's new album 'Never Fear' and her all-time hit "As Tears Go By". "The band is wonderful" said Sheridan. "They're truly original"

"JOYRIDING" (Hurley)
"Sally takes her pill
Crawls in the back seat with another strange man
She looks pretty ill, but she's okay
A tired love flows down her face,
oh so gently
In a cold white basin,
with a towel, that's all grime & greasy
Another John Henry and the money's alright
He gave her a cigarette, she gave him a light
But now her mouth is wired up tight
She went joyriding last night
Tony shuts his eyes and drives,
his love lays on the road up ahead
This is much more fun than school
He's taken the road less travelled
and a stranger's car, it's going ninety
The power of speed makes him feel so cool
Another Hail Mary as he kills all the lights
Stealing a car is like flying a kite
But now his body is wrapped up tight
He went down joyriding, joyriding last night
Heaven's lights are near, what are you doing here,
Feel the brightness warm & clear,taste it now my dear
Father said 'Son, it's a family matter, keep it that way
Wash those bloodstains off your clothes"
The keys to his car, keys to her heart
lay in a ditch by the side of the road
She's not coming home tonight
Another John Henry and the money's alright
She gave him a bag, he gave her a fight
and now her body is wrapped up tight
She went joy, joyriding...joyriding last night
I Must be home by ten,Can I call on you again,
I'm not like other men
she goes up, down, all around, up, down, all around
She had a long white robe and I'd put my arms here
and snuggle up just so, her touches soft and slow
she touches and she goes
she goes joy, she goes joy, she goes joyriding " - Track Name: I Must Be Dreaming

'I MUST BE DREAMING' Lyrics by Joe Hurley
"Patricia said its not what you have got,
It's what you leave behind
But I've got nothing but unpaid bills
and that thought never crossed her mind
She smiles as she strolls
down another All Souls Day she goes
I slipped as I fell through the crack that lets in all the light
At night she dreams of playgrounds, and first kisses,
she holds her pillow tight
When you're young, loves for keeps
her grazed knees and your heart skips beats, it goes
I lost my place, I love your face
I must be dreaming
A soft embrace, a new found grace
I must be dreaming
Behind the shed she said drop dead
you're always falling down
One last dance, she moved to france, she wrote me twice
said I wish you were around
I swore, once before, that I would never feel this way again
I lost my place, I love your face ,
I must be dreaming
A soft embrace, a new found grace
I must be dreaming
I cannot waste this sweetness taste
I must be dreamin
I'm a textbook case, back in the race
I must be dreaming" - Track Name: I Wish My Wife Was a Country Singer

"I WISH MY WIFE WAS A COUNTRY SINGER" (Hurley)
"I wish my wife was a country singer
Fresh coffee kisses and new smokes every day
She'd inspire me to write the great American novel
and I might...
She'd hide my morphine and take the pain away
I wish my wife was a country singer
Grammys to spare, Gold records on the walls
And after a night of vodka, beer and whiskey, oh yeah
She'd pick me up in a Pick-Up Truck with balls
Country Singer, have no fear, I am here for you
Country Singer, dont shed your tears, I'll always be true
I wish my wife was a country singer
These thoughts of death, they would not enter my head
I'd stop reading Camus, yeah, even the stranger too *
Every night I'd say my prayers beside my bed
Last night, about half past eight this morning
I get a phone call as I'm drininking in some bar
Woman says "Hey Joe, you dont know me..
but I'm a country singer."
Then the line went dead,
that drunken dream didn't go too far
But my wife, she aint a country singer
I'm not even married, yeah, it's true
But if my wife was a country singer
Dear Jenny, she'd look just like you."
*Some pressings of 'NEVER FEAR', vs 3 sees Camus gone. The alt verse reads
"I wish my wife was a country singer
These thoughts of death, they would not enter my head
I'd stop shooting my gun, yeah , even at strangers
Every night I'd say my prayers beside my bed"
Hurley has used both lines in Concert.
The original version, w Camus line, is the mp3 here !.
