Iron Roses, The
The Iron Roses
New album by the band around Boysetsfire frontman Nathan Gray as colored vinyl on SBM! Until recently the backing band for Nathan Gray's solo songs, the quintet and the Boysetsfire frontman have merged into one: The Iron Roses. The Iron Roses are a passionate, unique and wonderful group of people making music that we hope will change the world. Spurred on by the injustices of our time - their songs are the kind of protest anthems that only a group of seasoned musicians can create. Still angry, still motivated and still screaming - this is a band that will never give up. It takes serious talent to write and sing songs that sound angry while the music uplifts the spirit. So much of political punk is repulsive and uncomfortable. No hooks. No melodies. But sometimes passionate and angry words seem incompatible with emotionless and bland music. The Iron Roses create something rare and awe-inspiring with heart-raising music paired with lyrics that express anger and disapproval of the current world. Punk as a genre has become so commercialized and watered down over the past few decades that it's becoming increasingly difficult to find bands that resonate in this way. Who sing and play with such intensity that their authenticity cannot be doubted. Proving that true punk is alive and well and will have you dancing in your kitchen while you sing along out loud.
