"The Roller" was one of the singles from Different Gear, Still Speeding, the 2011 debut album by English rock band Beady Eye, and it arrived with a music video first and a digital release a couple of weeks later. Liam Gallagher wrote it with Gem Archer and Andy Bell, and Steve Lillywhite produced it with the band, with Jonathan Shakhovskoy engineering and mixing it alongside them.
The seven-inch put "Two of a Kind" on the flip side. The song itself rolls along with a loose, strutting swagger, a band sounding pleased with itself in the best way.
