Bandcamp Recommendations – 8/30/3012

The Black Roses started in December, 2011 as a nameless band consisting of  Fona (Drums) and Drew (guitar and Vox) with the one goal of makings a couple  songs and recording them. A couple weeks later, WA LA ! The duo had made   and recorded their two songs, oozing with punk furry, blues attitude and all the  grit of garage rock . Still no name, Drew thought long and hard while meditating  with a Kentucky Gentlemen and at the bottom of the bottle, The Black Roses  were found. The name reflects a band that works hard, but does not take  themselves too seriously, even sardonic sounding when compared to other color  oriented two piece bands which have already reached the the pearly gates of  rock ‘n’ roll heaven. The Black Roses have a raw approach, always recording live  in a friend’s living room, garage or warehouse, capturing the big noise of two  people. A week after putting their music out via the inter-web, the band  got a call that would change their lives, “would you like to play a show?”.  The Black Roses played their first show at a house party, playing three songs.  Since that show they’ve been offered another one and then another one.   The band will keep playing shows, recording and making loud, rock ‘n’ roll music   until the sun burns out and everyone starts listening to disco again.
