The Rosies EP is NOW AVAILABLE! Long Island rock has been in a bit of a drought since the end of the emo gold rush, but it seems to be back on the upswing. The Rosies are a female-fronted rock quintet who play soaring, sharp, hook-filled alt rock.
- Mike Nelson, The Long Island Press
An original and super-melodic indie rock five-piece etching out a niche with driving music and haunting three-part harmonies—the Rosies are a female fronted band with balls. As soon as the first chord is struck, incredibly,
audience members disrobe—it's such a phenomenon, in fact, that the band is thinking of changing the name of the band to Musical MDMA. Great first date concert. (And they are all incredibly good looking, too!)

Most bands out there are easy to define as one genre or another and can be tucked away into a neat little box. But Suffolk County’s The Rosies, who were recently named Long Island’s Best Up and Coming New Band by The Long Island Press, defy such easy classification, challenging listeners with its infectious melodies, powerful vocals and three-part harmonies backed by driving, and at times dark and haunting, rock, blurring genre lines along the way.
- Tiffany Razzano, Perpetual Toxins
Pulling influences from all over the map, the Rosies have finally perfected the art of indie rock. A lineup change including the addition of drummer Eric Solomon and guitarist Steve Goldstein helped inject an original and super melodic flavor to the band. Add to that the driving bass line and three-part harmonies of singer April Jimenez, guitarist Jennifer Garay and bassist Brock Gibson. An experiment in intellectual rock, the Rosies continue to push themselves and music to its limits to see just how far they can go.
The Rosies were recently interviewed by themediajunkyard.com. Check out our podcast interview on media junkyard.
