Julez And The Rollerz "I Need Love" Seeks Affection, But At What Cost

JULEZ AND THE ROLLERZ are excited to share their new single “I Need Love”. The song is the latest single to be released from their debut full-length album Dirty Little Rock ‘N’ Roller out June 26 via Lolipop Records (pre-order). The song debuted at Atwood Magazine along with an exclusive Q&A with the band and is on all streaming platforms for playlist consideration.

On the song, Vocalist/guitarist Jules Batterman shares:

“This song started off as just one big run-on sentence of a song that eventually came together over time while writing it with our producer and the band. We all crave love, it’s a part of the human condition; When love comes with a cost though, and when you’re just the manic pixie dream girl of another person’s life, it almost makes you question if romantic love is truly attainable. Can I be neurotic and still be loved? Or do I have to be perfect all of the time? That’s what this song is about.”

Julez and the Rollerz are also announcing a Los Angeles Record Release show taking place on June 28 at Zebulon. Tickets for the show are on sale now.

Thematically, Dirty Little Rock ‘N’ Roller as a whole explores the passage of time within relationships, within identity and within life itself. It’s a record preoccupied with growth and reckoning, with asking what remains when the noise settles and who you become when the party finally winds down.

Produced, engineered and mixed by Grammy nominated producer Alex Newport at Tiny Creatures Studio in Yucca Valley, CA, the album captures the band live with a careful balance of raw performance and thoughtful layering. Newport, known for his work with artists such as Death Cab for Cutie, Bloc Party and The Mars Volta, brings both precision and weight to the project.

The band’s 2023 EP Is This Where The Party Is?, which leaned more heavily into scrappy garage rock and blues-tinged looseness while Dirty Little Rock ‘N’ Roller feels more polished, more emotionally direct and decidedly more mature without sacrificing bite. It is also the most theatrical the band has ever sounded, pulling from power pop and glam rock traditions with big hooks, stacked vocals and larger-than-life moments. The guitars are bold, the choruses are built to stick and there is a dramatic flair running through the record that matches its sharp self awareness. The sound is unapologetically rock-forward, trading irony for impact and leaning fully into amplified guitars and sharp-edged hooks.

Formed in 2021 by Jules with a rotating lineup of collaborators, Julez and the Rollerz quickly carved out a presence in the Los Angeles underground scene with their high-energy live shows and genre-blurring early material. Their one-off single “Call Me Up,” released in 2025 and also appearing on the new album, marked a turning point, hinting at a sharper and more defined sonic direction that now fully materializes on Dirty Little Rock ‘N’ Roller.

If earlier releases captured the chaos of youth and late nights, this album captures what comes after, the clarity, the doubt and the strange beauty of realizing you’re no longer the same person you were when you started. With Dirty Little Rock ‘N’ Roller, Julez and the Rollerz prove they’re not just playing dress-up in rock nostalgia. They’re evolving in real time and fully aware of the irony but committed to the music anyway.

“Their music has attitude, humor, movement, and muscle, but it also has a beating pulse – the sense of a band taking all the chaos of becoming and throwing it back at the world with a smirk, a snarl, and a wide-open heart. Julez and the Rollerz promise a bold arrival from an act worth watching closely.” – Mitch Mosk / Atwood Magazine
