Rollins Band is a rock music group led by singer and songwriter Henry Rollins. They are probably best-known for the songs "Low Self Opinion" (1992) and "Liar" (1994), which both earned heavy airplay on MTV in the heyday of alternative rock. Critic Steve Huey writes, The Rollins Band's records are uncompromising, intense, cathartic fusions of hard rock, funk, post-punk noise, and jazz experimentalism, with Rollins shouting angry, biting self-examinations and accusations over the grind."[LINK: http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:yudyyl4jxpvb~T1] "Rollins Band" from Allmusic.com; URL accessed February 09, 2007 History First edition (1987) Rollins was the singer for Washington D.C.'s SOA (State of Alert) from 1980 to 1981.
