R0SWELL

Although Roswell only formed in the spring of 2006, in one short year they have proven they are ready to pay the dues needed to show the world why they became musicians. Danny Braaten, Jordan Pritchett, and Tahvo Laukkanen began jamming together in April of 2006, and instantly felt a connection, both as friends and fellow musicians. The trio hit the road running and began writing original songs but felt the sound needed more depth. It was with this in mind they added Steve McPherson on bass to fill out the sound in August of the same year. Having their first dozen songs ready, they began doing shows in the Greater Vancouver area and have developed a loyal following. Although their personal musical interests run from heavy metal to country and back again, the bands influences have begun to center around the masters of rock, including such bands as Metallica, Pantera, Motley Crue, and the Misfits. Roswell has begun to set itself apart from other bands because of their solid musical background and dedication to the practice that is necessary in the hard fought music industry. Roswell accomplished the near impossible: amalgamating their influences into a sound that is truly like no other, completely unique and constantly inventive. With all this happening in the first year, it will be interesting to see where the music they continue to create takes them in the coming years, as well as the direction their music takes the rest of the rock music industry
