PRESS RELEASE:
Hailing from Wrexham, North Wales, The Roseville Band deliver driven rock & roll. Forming the creative nucleus of the band are the guitarist brothers Andy and Steve Jones, who grew up in the idyllic Flintshire Mountains in a house - Roseville - drawing in a community of friends and musicians from the surrounding area, which gave rise to The Roseville Band in November 2006.
The Roseville Band bring a joyful musical celebration built around songwriter Andy's distinctive husky vocals, intertwined with beguiling melodies, and a sturdy rhythm section. This band reverts to the heartfelt, rhapsodic and gritty music of Neil Young, and The Rolling Stones, whilst drawing fresher influences from the likes of Wilco and Fleet Foxes. Their conviction and dedication to innovation has steered them beyond trends to places of unfettered artistic integrity.
Championed by The Guardian, the band debuted with sessions and airplay on XFM, 6Music and BBC Wales, and all ahead of the release of their debut album 'Little Eyes In The Universe' (Tri-Tone/PIAS 2010). The release saw the band reach new audiences with press and airplays in the USA, Canada & Europe, and an eventual tour of the Netherlands & Germany followed on from triumphant performances at Liverpool Sound City, and Glastonbury Festival. All this, tied in with a commendably intense work ethic (450+ shows to date), has established their reputation as fervently committed performers of powerful songs.
Following on from their debut release, the band returned in 2011 with new album 'Shake The Walls' (Tri-Tone/PIAS). Inspired by a whirlwind year, taking in tours, tornados, and near death experiences on the autobahn, the results provided the band with a newfound perspective, and a new album offering more in terms of sounds and dynamic, whilst reaffirming the bands reputation as top quality song-smiths. Headline slots at Focus Wales, and Liverpool Sound City were followed by a 30 date UK club tour, summer festival appearances, and topped off with invitations to perform at SWN Festival, Canadian Music Week, and NXNE 2012.
2012 finds the band in pre-production for their 3rd album, set for release in the autumn. Having stormed five showcases in Toronto as part of Canadian Music Week in March, the band then returned to Canada in June to perform as part of NXNE 2012. During the trip the band previewed new material, as they played 6 shows at the NXNE 2012 festival; where they were awarded 'Standout International Act!' The band have now retreated to their rehearsal space in the North Wales countryside to complete work on their much anticipated 3rd album.
