Yorkshire outfit The White Roses follow up the death or glory ‘This Town’ with their latest single ‘If I Could’. It was recorded at Manchester’s Mad Fox Studios with Sugarhouse mixing and The Rookery on mastering duty.

Bands three singles in can be forgiven for ragged edges, not The White Roses. With every release comes a clearer vision of mainstage indie-pop to reel in the casual fan and those on the fringes. This time-out, unrequited love forms the bedrock of their swashbuckling indie.
Jack Maw’s guitars range from the angelic lovesick that gets our hopeful protagonist out of bed each day to those bristling with agitated defeat in the early parts. Their hope disintegrates into unadulterated anguish during Maw’s solo.
The White Roses will be recording at Abbey Road Studios on their next single. In this form, those hallowed walls could witness yet another great moment.
