  • Paul Roland (Kent, 6 settembre 1959) è un cantautore, giornalista e scrittore britannico. La sua carriera incomincia nel 1979, nel momento più acuto della transizione fra punk e new wave. Pur rimanendo una figura complessivamente periferica della neopsichedelia inglese, Roland si è guadagnato negli anni un appassionato seguito di pubblico - specialmente in Germania e in Italia - che ne ha riconosciuto il talento poliedrico e la capacità di rielaborare, nelle sue canzoni, un immaginario tutto personale a metà fra gotico e fiabesco, nella linea dei Tyrannosaurus Rex del suo idolo Marc Bolan. Descritto dal collega Robyn Hitchcock come "il Kate Bush maschio", e dalla rivista musicale francese Les Inrockuptibles "il Lord Byron del rock", Roland è stato riconosciuto da dei come un precursore della sottocultura steampunk. Negli anni, Paul Roland ha realizzato ben diciassette album in studio, uno dal vivo e svariati singoli, fra cui il più celebre è probabilmente Gabrielle, del 1987. Ai suoi lavori come musicista ha affiancato un'intensa attività editoriale, pubblicando, oltre a due biografie di Bolan, volumi su delitti irrisolti e fenomeni paranormali. Dopo aver vissuto a lungo in Germania, al momento risiede nel Cambridgeshire con la sua famiglia. (it)
