The Rosewood Fall are exactly what a band should be. What is it that keeps a group of musicians together through thick and thin, keeps them from burning out on the frustrations of music industry letdowns and the stresses that come along with a career that holds little promise of anything resembling the myth of "rock and roll glory"? In the case of The Rosewood Fall, the answer is a dedication to perseverance, a tireless work ethic, and a deep love for creating music that blends life and art in a skillful and infectious way. Sx Benjamin Holsteen and Eric Palmquist met in their freshman year dorm at Westmont College. Their Midwestern roots and mutual love for all things rock were enough for a fast bond to form. By the end of that year they had begun to play music together. A rotating cast of characters would fill the other slots in the band until the current lineup was solidified (Jim, who now plays guitar, actually played drums for an early line-up of The Rosewood Fall).
In late fall/early winter of 2002, Ben and Eric recruited Jim Roach and Dan Patterson to fill out the line-up of the band for recording a demo, with the intention of seeking label interest. Jim was involved in another long-term project at the time, and Dan had been around the block, so to speak, with a former band and wasn't too convinced that he wanted to pursue music anymore at all, when Ben and Eric approached them, but both agreed to play on the demo. What came out of those sessions were three songs that genuinely exceeded the expectations of everyone involved. When the demo was completed, everyone agreed that there was something special in the chemistry between the four musicians and agreed to continue to play together on a temporary basis and see how things went.
In early 2003, Jim was at breakfast with former band-mate and old friend, Phoenix from Linkin Park, and told him about the new band that he had just recorded with. After breakfast Jim, Phoenix, and two other friends piled in a car and listened to the new demos, after which Phoenix asked if he could hold onto the copy. A few weeks later a meeting was set up between Phoenix and The Rosewood Fall where the band was offered a deal with Machine Shop Records. After a week or two of consideration the band agreed to sign.
After signing to Machine Shop, The Rosewood Fall, with a finally solidified line-up began to write and demo new songs. The new music that they were turning out was fresh and exciting for all of them, but they quickly began to feel sonically limited by the standard 2 guitars, bass, drums, and voice format. In the fall of 2003, the band brought Joel Pierson, longtime friend and musical collaborator/co-conspirator on board as full time member, covering the realm of synthesizers and samples for the band. With the addition of Joel, The Rosewood Fall has continued to grow and develop a style that is uniquely their own. In May of 2004, they released their 'Demonstrate' E.P. and are planning a tour for the new album.

When you hear someone talking about independent music, it's important to know the difference between what is independent and what is true independent. An independent label that has any kind of backing or connection with major labels, is not a true independent. We hope to see more true independents come to light in the coming years ahead.
The summer concert season is here, and we want to share something very important with you.
Every summer, the major labels scramble to vie for your entertainment dollar.
They put their superficial, shallow acts in the line up of events that don't acknowledge true independent music.
Even though they may claim to be for independent music, they really are not. The truth is that they lock out independent artists who are not major labels; or affiliated with major labels, and who are in direct competition with them.
Within each event, there is usually a little clique that decides for us; what they want us to hear, instead of programming music that we really like and want to hear. It's just like what's going on in commercial radio. A select few get to decide for us, what they deem appropriate for our ears; and for their affiliates.
Does this seem right, or even fair to be treated this way?
The time has come, for us to put our collective foot down. The only way to let these people know that we're not going to take this treatment anymore, is by staying home; when they start making their cattle calls to come spend our hard earned dollars at their overpriced, and superficially lame events.
Don't spend a single dollar, until the point has been made perfectly clear to these people; that we want to see positive changes take place in the music industry. Too many great bands and artists are prevented from sharing great music, because we are being force fed what major labels and radio decide they want us to hear.
YOU have the power, to turn things around. Instead of going to that "festival" or that "block party"...do something else. Don't continue to feed a system that is corrupt, and broken. Instead, let it be known that people matter; and find something more worthwhile to do.
And don't forget about the letter for change in the music buisness. The numbers are growing! Tell everyone you know about it, and keep them coming in!
