“Close your eyes and dream of world you want to see”
The White Roses are a four-piece based in Leeds. They are made up of Ellie Robinson (lead singer & rhythm guitar), Jack Maw (lead guitar & backing vox), Charlie Edwards (bass), and Tom Lepard (drums). Banner image courtesy of Richard Maw.
Let’s see what they have been up to:
This Town
Life-affirming guitars are set against the backdrop of desperate characters attempting to escape their hometown. The kind that smashes down the front doors of best friends and drag them on adventures that Marr had in mind that fated evening in Manchester.
Yearning for a life beyond the confines of her hometown, Robinson’s masterful vocal walks a tightrope of melancholy and hope. The White Roses deliver an aching feeling of never knowing where an opportunity might come from but always ready for it. When it comes, their talent will see them grasp it. It’s inevitable.
Do It All Again
If there is a secret to life, it’s being present. Living in the moment is where true beauty can be distilled. Despite their youth, the White Roses know it and have bottled it on this piece of indie-rock magic.
Maw’s divine Fleetwood Mac meets The Killers solo is the only thing more beautiful than Robinson's vocal. A piece of mainstream magic to unite all corners of the indie realm and beyond.
