Manchester’s Rosellas released ‘Beautiful Lonely’ last Friday via First Run Records. It’s their lead single from their upcoming EP ‘Shadow Dancing’.

Since the influx of singer-songwriters into the alternative scene over the past decade, the number of lost-soul types writing songs about being lost and searching for something has skyrocketed.

Forlorn? No. Pointless? Yes.

Step forward the Rosellas. They’ve flipped the searching soul genre on its head with racing guitars that create a perpetuating indie euphoria. Their sense of searching is more akin to a quest for glory, no matter the regularity of failure.

As they build their cohesive sound, a coming-of-age spirit emerges, where every day is a new chance to try. The lyrical introduction of “mirror, mirror on the wall” joyously affirms their fairytale spirit.

There will be those who, question whether this band, any band can have a happy ever after in such trying times. They, of course, miss the point in rock n roll. It’s always the journey that matters, not the destination. Upon this indie epic, Rosellas have become utterly undeniable!
