NEW CD

JUST ANOTHER SATURDAY

'Just Another Saturday is a great little country record . . The fiddle playing absolutely shines in “Kit’s Song” and “Let the Bottle Take the Heartache Away”, with the latter employing a mournful accordion to produce a Pogues-like barroom lullaby'
'The Gobblers Knob'
– Read Revue


'The “five boys in black” have been doing the rounds of the UK’s country/Americana circuit over the past couple of years to increasing acclaim, and they now consolidate those live appearances by releasing this five-track EP (produced, interestingly by Davy O'List, formerly of The Nice and The Attack) . . . Tight, well-crafted, catchy and addictive self-penned songs with a stomping rootsy vibe, all propelled along by a keen fiddle melody line '
Dave Kidman, Folk and Roots
– Read Revue


'Anglo-Americana in the finest tradition.
The Dog Roses are to be congratulated for their fine sense of melody. Every one of the five songs here is gloriously catchy and delivered with a compelling forcefulness . . . it has a certain quality which American acts, for all their authenticity, could never hope to capture. It’s the same quality you can find on a Brinsley Schwarz or a Rockingbirds album'
Kai Roberts, Americana UK – Read Revue


"Addictive twangy tunes" says the press release and that about nails it. The songs are well written and combine both homegrown and Americana elements. Despite the infectious foot-tappers the stand out track for me is the slower country tearjerker "Let the Bottle Take the Heartache Away"
‘No Depression'
– Read Revue

Congrats on the new CD, and I'm bummed that the distance between northern California and London will prevent me from being there for the release party! All the best,

Thank you sir, no worries at all, I know the pain of not having an essential piece of equipment at a gig, especially from my band days. Cheers for that too, it was a great night, you were all on immaculate form -as always- and I hope we can do another one together soon!
