The Roseville Band

‘That’s superb. The sound of a band that’s hungry’. - BBC 6 Music

‘Brilliant! ORDER is a stinging comment on conflict and disintegrating justice in a divided society’ - LOUDER THAN WAR

‘Really good! Thrilling. Like a dark North Walian take on Krautrock’. - BBC Radio Wales

'Recently saw this Wrexham band playing in a Montreal bar. Temper is their third album released on Canadian label Pipe & Hat… perfect for a long car drive with upbeat rock’n'roll melodies… a must listen album… Go and buy it!' - CISM 89.3 FM (Montréal)

'Having developed a cult following in their native Wales, this year finds the band as a leaner four-piece, bringing a more aggressive and alternative slant to their music. The new album is sure to catch many by pleasant surprise!' - ALTSOUNDS (New York)

'The Roseville Band made the most of their long flight from Wales, by playing an impressive five NXNE sets. This band was one of those pleasant surprises we discovered last year and judging from the excitement in the crowd this was also true for many people this time around. The momentum and energy in the audience grew throughout the band’s set. Starting with the catchy "Temper", the title track from their current album, was the perfect build-up to their high energy set, as it allowed us to hear the full scale of lead singer, Andy Jones' voice. Though strong musicianship is of course one of the key elements of this bands catchy sound it is Andy's unique voice that captures your attention and leaves you wanting more.' - STICKY MAGAZINE

LOUDER THAN WAR: 'The Roseville Band, turned in a polished and high octane performance that spoke volumes for what they have already achieved and what they undoubtedly will' (Louder Than War on FOCUS Wales 2013) - LOUDER THAN WAR

'The Roseville Band dish out proper rock that is straight-down-the-highway anthems with cut-glass choruses. There are times when their sound hits real hard and is larger than all of Wales itself. I often wonder what would have happened if the Verve hadn’t made those wrong turns, when you hear TRB play you get half an idea, and it makes you grin from ear-to-ear.' - ARTROCKER

'THE ROSEVILLE BAND Jangly and heartfelt guitar-led rock and roll rhapsodies in the style of Wilco or electric Dylan all the hard-touring way from Wales, Great Britain.' - NOW Toronto

NXNE 2012 Review: Sticky Magazine call us 'Standout' band of NXNE 2012!

'Thursday night of NXNE at the Rancho Relaxo had a surprisingly good line-up, especially considering the size of the venue. It included a couple of bands that were easy picks, even against some of the better advertised line-ups, but also, a pleasant surprise lurked.

The Roseville Band

The Roseville Band were an NXNE standout at Rancho Relaxo on Thursday night. The Welsh foursome were back in Toronto after playing five showcases at Canadian Music Fest 2012. Vocalist/guitarist Andy Jones took to the stage with guitarist (and brother to Andy) Steve Jones, drummer James Edwards and bassist Neal Thompson.

The blues-rock "Goodbye" was Zeppelin-esque, with raspy, sometimes nasal vocals complementing the band's soulful sound. The melancholy "Sad Way to Go" brought to mind Kings of Leon and Deer Tick's John McCauley as the looping melody created a trancelike effect.

Andy switched to mandolin for "The Less I Want." Disclaimer: Anyone playing, or attempting to play a mandolin has my heart. "Thank you Taronna!" Andy shouted. "You say 'Taronna,' right?" Actually, Andy, we say "Toronn-oh" — but all good. "Stand" was sexy and commanding with its chorus, "Stand like I told you / Stand like I told you," led by a heavy guitar riff and hip-shaking drums. Whether affectation or accent, Andy's rolled r's were a fun addition.

Two official shows and four more unofficial shows during NXNE proved that this is a hardworking band. They drew much from styles of the past with no gimmicks needed to enhance their tight musicality and stage presence.' - Sticky Magazine

The Roseville Band - Little Eyes in the Universe - The Roseville Band from Flintshire have been building a reputation & following through almost constant gigging in the UK & Europe. Led by Andy & Steve Jones, they've been likened to the Kings of Leon by NME. Whatever, they're a tight, feisty outfit, bursting with good tunes. Like the Cubical, they've got a classic bluesy rock sound as a base, but with an indie/individual sensibility too. Andy Jones has a very distinctive voice, & with his brother Steve makes a really good guitar sound. Like the Dinner Ladies, this album is another 10 tracks/30 mins or so affair, but the resemblance ends there. "Little Eyes in the Universe" has a real pace & structure to it, starting off with some strong tracks like "The Boxer", "Out of Control" & "My Town", before going on to show that they're not afraid to vary things as well.. Apparently the addition of a brass section was a turning point for the group, and they're strongest when brass & slide guitar twine & stretch around each other, as on the excellent "Bullet Eyes" & "Tatters". Andy Jones plays some nice mandolin, too, on slower tracks like "On our way" & "The Less I Want". There's a real consistency to this album - look out for the Roseville Band, they're coming your way & they're good! - Den Browne (Mudkiss Fanzine) - Mudkiss.com

'Hannah's on Hardman St had bands across two floors and I caught Wrexham's hidden treasures The Roseville Band. They may be based in the North Wales town but there is a very strong Liverpool influence in their sound. Apparently dubbed 'the Welsh Kings of Leon’ by NME but I personally think that comparison is based very loosely around the family connections within the band, certainly not their music. The epic nature of their songs and melodies however were perhaps a bit too big for this intimate setting but extra marks for the inclusion of a two piece brass section. Definitely one to keep an eye on..' Rich Denton Music-News.com - Music-News.com
