The Sick Rose

GARAGE / POWER POP BAND SINCE 1984 !!!

About Me

The Sick Rose were arguably the first European garage band to have the impact globally in the same manner as The Chesterfield Kings (from the Timothy Gassen's book Knights of Fuzz 1980-1995).

Lead garage band in the Eighties, The Sick Rose with his fuzz and farfisa attack impressed the audience with full powered gigs, since the first released Faces LP, dated 1986. The band performed alive with some legends of the genre (The Fuzztones, Dream Syndicate, The Nomads, Stomach Mouths and so on) and produced four full records but disbanded in 1990.

Now they are back with a new work, Blastin' out, produced by DOM MARIANI , the legendary leader of the Stems. The forthcoming new Album will be out on TEEN SOUND before the end of 2005.
