Hailing from Wrexham, North Wales, The Roseville Band deliver soulful, bluesy 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 called - Roseville - drawing in a community of friends and musicians from the surrounding area, which gave rise to the Roseville Band in 2006.
The Roseville Band form a folksy fusion built around songwriter Andy's distinctive husky vocals, intertwined with beguiling melodies, a sturdy rhythm section and embellished by a two-piece horn section, delivering a joyful musical celebration. The six-piece line-up reverts to the heartfelt, rhapsodic and gritty music of Neil Young, Dexy's Midnight Runners and The Band, as well as drawing fresher influences from the likes of Wilco, Arcade Fire and Fleet Foxes. Their conviction and dedication to innovation has steered them beyond trends to places of unfettered artistic integrity.
Championed by Paul Lester of The Guardian, and dubbed 'the Welsh Kings of Leon' by the NME, The Roseville Band debuted with sessions and airplay on XFM Manchester, Juice FM, BBC6 Music and – of course – BBC Wales, and all ahead of the release of the bands debut album 'Little Eyes In The Universe' (Released June 2010 - Tri-Tone Records). The release saw the band reach new audiences at home and abroad with press and airplays in the US 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 (well over three hundred shows to date), has established their reputation as fervently committed performers of powerful songs.
Following on from their debut release, the band return in 2011 with their new album 'Shake The Walls'. The new album sees 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 have provided the band with a newfound perspective, and a new album that offers more in terms of sounds and dynamic, whilst reaffirming the bands reputation as top quality song-smiths. Recorded at Giant Wafer Studios, Powys, Wales, The Roseville Band new album 'Shake The Walls' is due for release in August 2011.
