The Roches (Maggie, Terre, and Suzzy Roche) are a vocal group of three songwriting Irish-American sisters from Park Ridge, New Jersey, known for their "unusual" and "rich" harmonies, quirky lyrics, and casually comedic stage performances.
The Roches have been active as performers and recording artists since the mid-1970s, at various times performing as a trio and in pairs.
In the late 1960s, eldest sister Margaret and middle sister Terre (pronounced "Terry") quit school to tour as a duo. Maggie wrote most of the songs, with Terre contributing to a few. The sisters got a break when Paul Simon brought them in as backup singers on his 1973 #2 album There Goes Rhymin' Simon. They got his assistance (along with an appearance by The Oak Ridge Boys) on their only album as a duo, Seductive Reasoning (1975). Shortly after that, youngest sister Suzzy (rhymes with "fuzzy") joined the group to form The Roches trio.
Around this time, they parlayed bartending jobs at famous Greenwich Village folk venue Gerde's Folk City into stage appearances, an experience they commemorated in their song, "Face Down at Folk City" (from Another World, 1985). It was here that they met many of their future singing and songwriting collaborators. Terre was now writing songs as well, and by the time of their first album as a trio, The Roches (1979), Suzzy had also begun writing. Robert Fripp produced the album. Maggie's "The Married Men" from this album was eventually to become the biggest hit of the songwriting trio — not for them, but for Phoebe Snow. After Snow and Linda Ronstadt performed the song in a duet on Saturday Night Live, the Roches were invited themselves to perform on the show a few months later in 1979 at the behest of Paul Simon. They did two songs, both unreleased at the time, "Bobby's Song" and "The Hallelujah Chorus".

(Words & Music by Margaret A Roche) Lyrics: If you go down to Hammond you'll never come back In my opinion you're on the wrong track We'll always love you but that's not the point If you go with that fella forget about us As far as I'm concerned that would be just throwing yourself away not even trying Come on you're lying to me Well I went down to Hammond I did as I pleased I ain't the only one who's got this disease Why don't you face the fact you old upstart We fall apart You'd be okay if you'd just stay in school Don't be a fool Do your eyes have an answer to this song of mine They say we meet again on down the line Where is on down the line how far away? Tell me I'm okay If you go down to Hammond you'll never come back

"The Roches" is the 1979 eponymous debut album by The Roches. The album was well received. Jay Cocks in Time wrote that their music "is startling, lacerating and amusing". Robert Christgau's review stated "Robert Fripp's austere production of this witty, pretty music not only abjures alien instrumentation but also plays up the quirks of the Roches' less-than-commanding voices and acoustic guitars. Thus it underscores their vulnerability and occasional desperation and counteracts their flirtations with the coy and the fey. The result is not a perfect record, but rather one whose imperfections are lovingly mitigated. It was voted #11 for the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop Critics Poll. It has continued to be highly rated. Allmusic characterized it as a "mischievous and highly original...

The Roches - Mr. Sellack 1980 O Mr Sellack Can I have my job back? I've run out of money again. Last time I saw ya I was singing Hallelujah I'm so glad to be leavin' this restaurant.

"The Roches Speak!" A great interview from 1989 with Maggie, Terre and Suzzy by veteran college/alternative radio DJ Ed Sciaky. "The Roches Speak!" was a cassette-only promotional release from 1989, while the band was promoting their MCA Records album Speak. A number of album cuts from various albums were originally included between interview segments, but I removed them from this video in order to avoid copyright issues. Highlights include the band talking about what it was like working with Robert Fripp, Paul Simon, Carter Cathcart, and opening for Boz Scaggs on their first large-scale tour (it didn't go well). From the liner notes: "The Roches Speak! This interview recording contains some great music and facts from The Roches' past, present and your future, as well as some very juic...
