Hailing from Wrexham, North Wales, The Roseville Band deliver alternative horn-driven rock. 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, a sturdy rhythm section, and embellished by a two-piece horn section. The six-piece line-up reverts to the heartfelt, rhapsodic and gritty music of Neil Young, and The Rolling Stones, as well as 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, BBC6 Music and BBC Wales, and all ahead of the release of their debut album ‘Little Eyes In The Universe’ (2010 – Tri-Tone Records). The release saw the band reach new audiences with press and airplays in the USA, Canada and Europe, and an eventual tour of the Netherlands and Germany followed on from triumphant performances at Liverpool Sound City, and Glastonbury Festival. All this, tied in with a commendably intense work ethic (over 400 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 Records). The new album saw the bands’ song-writing take on a broader range of themes, from their debut offering. 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. Recorded at Giant Wafer Studios, Powys, Wales, ‘Shake The Walls’ was released 8th August 2011. Headline slots at Focus Wales 2011, and Liverpool Sound City ‘11 were proceeded by a 30 date UK club tour, and summer festival appearances, topped off with an invitation to perform at Radio 1’ Huw Stephens SWN Festival in Cardiff.
