The Band is called SUBROSA, it means under the ROSE and refers to secrecy in intent. Mat (the drummer) found it in a dictionary, we will never know why he was reading the dictionary, but we were glad he did.

The band formed in JULY 1999. Glowbuzzers (indie punk rock) had been around for about 3 decades, there singer left. At the same time 'Pyroflo' (skate punk rock) collapsed due to 'musical differences', so we gave it a whirl. I (pete-singer) auditioned for approx. 13 months. Andy the bassist left this feb, constant line, "oh you have guitars but dont play nu-metal or skate punk' really started to piss him off. We get Lydia Finney in at this point, she will be leaving on the 30th April (to persue an M.D) so the boy ANDY will be back.

I would say life changing albums for me would be nevermind (cliche) or anything by the PIXIES, One hot Minute taught me a lot too. For Dave i think it would be anything by the Manic street Preachers (gold against the sole) or Placebo. For Mat, i'm gonna say the same although he is massively in love with MUSE at the Mo. Andy would probably be Rolling Stones 'let it Bleed' (i think) or the FUNKADELICS, maybe even CREAM (i will get back to you)

Future is strange, still looking for a manager with a head (aren't we all) We have a new EP out in JUNE called 'Lost in London', recorded by Pete Lorentz in Camden Town. Hope to get back in the studio in August. As far as music, well just signed to have 2 of our tracks 'lost somewhere' and 'Closure' backing 2 FREESPIRIT mini programmes on MTV and ITV and a channel in AUSTRALIA (cant remember which one.)

Thats about it really, we love our music and we believe in it. Playing live is the best bit and as long as we can keep going we will be happy
