Title - Studio 3
Artist - Rogers & Butler
Step into the hallowed halls of Abbey Road’s Studio 3, where Rogers & Butler have conjured up a rock ’n’ roll séance that would make the ghosts of Beatles past nod in approval.
Studio 3 isn’t just an album title; it’s a time machine disguised as 12 tracks of pure audio alchemy. Edward Rogers and Steve Butler, the dynamic duo of transatlantic rock, have distilled the essence of 60’s and 70’s nostalgia and spiked it with a shot of modern moxie.
Recorded in a whirlwind two-day session, this album captures lightning in a bottle faster than you can say A Day in the Life. With Don Piper wielding both producer’s pen and guitar, Andy Lewis laying down bass lines smoother than a London fog, and Ian Button providing drum beats that could wake Ringo from a deep slumber, Studio 3 is what happens when musical chemistry goes nuclear.
From the Carnaby Street swagger of Soho Fantasy to the psychedelic spiral of Scarlett Letter, each track is a portal to rock’s golden age, reimagined for ears that have grown weary of over-polished pop. This isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it’s a guided tour through the best bits of rock history, with Rogers & Butler as your witty, harmony-laden hosts.

Their brand new recording opens on the harmonica-driven, blues rocker Soho Fantasy and the melodious Poor Little Rich Girl and they are backed by the guitar-fed AOR of Jigsaw Puzzle, the jaunty Poverty Line, the free flowing Burned By The Sun, and then we get the lonesome ode sewn into the countrified ballad Music’s Perfect Rhyme.
Along next is the playfully rambunctious Teddy Boys and the languishing balladry of Farewells and they are in turn followed by the twanging rocker Agree To Disagree, the all-embracing, mid-tempo bounce of Sixpence For The Sun, the pleasing rock of Oh To Be A Fool Again, coming to a close on the atmospherically-charged of Scarlett Letter.
Rogers and Butler: Proving that when it comes to rock ’n’ roll, the Atlantic is just a puddle. Now, who’s ready for a transatlantic musical love affair?
