Influences
The band draw their influences from artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Queen, The Who, Metallica, Guns'n'Roses, Paul Rodgers, Free, Bad Company and Bon Jovi, giving their material and style of song-writing an added depth and unique touch, that only they can accomplish.
The Retrose, a Huddersfield based band, started back in 2004 and since then has undergone many changes. Styles have changed, members have come and gone, but today, their focus is to provide their audience with an explosive rock'n'roll show. They aim to take you on a roller-coaster ride, by balancing out their set list with both Anthemic Rock numbers and thought provoking ballads.
I dont want your dirty tricks!. you should take your music more seriosuly get together and make shit happen, theres alot of bands ive heard in malta and england and not many of them have any talent as near as your stuff, your singer is fucking awesome and whoever your song writer is props to him ,plus the guitarists really are awsome also and the dummer, at leats 5 people have apporached me in malta all very knowlegdable in music and have told me your band is very good and need to start settling down, anyway peace out im a friend of alex p. c by the way
Hey, thanks for getting back. Basically, there's this website called last. fm (Here), and it logs what you're listening to. It also gives you information on the bands you're listening to. Sort of like MySpace for Music, I guess. Thanks guys
Hey again guys, Fancy giving me a bit of help with your last. fm page? It's barren, and just wanting to put some info on. I don't need much, just your genres, and a bit about the band. Maybe a picture too. Thanks guys :)
seen you have started gettin some gigs sorted again, good work! when we get back we should play a few shows together. also im trying to organize a huge one at the gas club in june if your up for it, just get loads of bands on, rock the fuck out of it and hopefully make some buns!
oh, check out our new songs too, see what you think.
Thanks. I was quite shocked when you broke up before! I found 'Dirty Tricks' hiding on my hard drive so I've been listening to that lately. I look forward to the gigs!!
The Retrose still have a fine song writer, and I'm certain great songs will continue to be created! Who knows, maybe even the Sixteen:20 guys will be supporting us in the not too distant! Anyway, keep listening!
