Hasbro has posted a music video for “Roll Out” by the band Mount Holly from the upcoming album Transformers: Roll Out.
The song was Recorded, Filmed, and Edited by Dallas Kruse at Zion Studios – Santa Ana, CA.
Transformers Roll Out heralds the global pop-culture Transformers phenomenon, featuring a collection of hit original songs inspired by the Hasbro Transformers franchise from leading established and up-and-coming alternative, rock and alt-pop artists, morphing together to create an epic portfolio of hard-hitting tunes that truly embodies the soul of the Hasbro Transformers brand. The album will include tracks from chart topping rock band ‘Bush’ and front man Gavin Rossdale, lending powerhouse vocals in “This House is on Fire” and will also feature up-and-coming alt-rock group Mount Holly on the album’s lead title track “Roll Out.”
Check out the music video, after the jump.

The non-acoustic version is way better.

So just found this today. Am I the only one who was hoping for some filky rock?

I fail to see what this song has to do with Transformers. Needs more energy, sad state of things for rock music nowadays.
Now I need to clear that video from my YouTube history so I don't get spammed with similar recommended videos.

That was awful. No Transformers even show up in the Music Video. Plus, the music was horrendous. I couldn't stand it at all.
Yeah, I'm not interested in this album at all. The U.S. has barely any good Musicians out there, and these guys certainly aren't the exception.

The song's alright, maybe it'll grow on me in time.
GAUGE
I could see this song playing from a Jukebox in a Diner.
I like it.

The music is solid, though like others have said doesn't really fit the tone of any Transformers media I've seen or read. Not really a fan of the singer, he isn't bad, there wasn't much variety in the notes he's singing, he just sort of stayed in the same register. I didn't catch all the lyrics, but wasn't really inspired to listen again to figure them out. I think this would be a decent band to catch playing at a bar.
I applaud the effort, indie bands have it rough.

Isn't that what Cher's albums are anyway?

Black metal… lol. I'd rather listen to Cher fart for 10 hours straight.

This fits the atmosphere of Transformers as well as a 600 pound woman fits in an airplane bathroom. Just throw on some black metal and go play Fall of Cybertron. You'll see what mean.

Holy crap … is this song mediocre.
This reminds me of those sampler CDs they used to make, with a bunch of no-name bands trying to get attention for largely ho-hum (i.e. derivative? copycat?) talent.
Anyway, when I hear "ROLL OUT!!!" I just expect some damn energy. This song is kind of whiney… like the genre is just all wrong. Heck, when I hear Roll Out (and cause DP did it so well), I almost expect a kick-ass rap song (despite not being huge on THAT genre! ). That's how disappointed I am with this.
And why call it a "video"? I was expecting a lazy splash of TF cartoon clips or comic snippets… but this is a bunch of guys sitting around and playing music. Ugh. Can they try less hard?
On the positive side: the beat and chord are pretty sweet, but the lyrics/singing style kind of waste the decent music. Oh well.

It was pretty okay

I quite like it.

Roll out and just spark are two songs that go with transformers other songs not much but not liking song song roll out maybe if it was little faster and singer voice was lower and little faster
harrismonkey
Neither do the executives that put this together.

I still fail to see what any song in this album has to do with transformers. i feel i could throw darts at a board covered with random dubstep and get an album that felt more transformers then this.
I guess i just dont get it.

Singer might want to work on expanding the ceiling of his vocal range.
