Based in Wrexham, North Wales, The Roseville Band bring a soulful, bluesy rock
based around the nucleus of guitarist brothers Andy and Stevie Jones. The pair
grew up in a house - Roseville - in the Flintshire mountains, which over the
years drew a community of friends and musicians from the surrounding area and
eventually, in 2006, The Roseville Band was formed.

Based around songwriter Andy's distinctive vocals, backed by a sturdy rhythm
section and augmented by a two-piece horn section, the six-piece line-up draws
influence from the heartfelt, soulful and gritty music of Neil Young, Dexy's
Midnight Runners and The Band and - just as importantly - from the attitude of
bands like Glasvegas, Arcade Fire and Flaming Lips, whose conviction and
dedication to uniqueness has steered them beyond trends to places of unfettered
artistic integrity.

Dubbed 'the Welsh Kings of Leon' by the NME, The Roseville Band have gained
sessions and airplay on XFM Manchester, Juice FM, MFM Radio and - of course -
BBC Wales, and chalked up triumphant performances at Glastonbury Festival and
Cardiff Calling, where they appeared alongside the likes of Super Furry Animals
& The Streets. All this, tied in with a commendably intense work ethic (well
over a hundred gigs in their two years of existence), has led to their
reputation as committed performers of powerful songs becoming firmly
established.

Following on from last year's EP Where Have You Been?, their debut album has
been recorded with producers Dom McCready and Lance Thomas (whose CV includes PJ
Harvey and Ladytron), and is ready for release.

Dedicated, inspired and inspiring, The Roseville Band have always been ones to
let their music do the talking, now it's time for us to listen.
