Still, their latest project feels like the groups coming-out party.
II, an album-length EP they have set for release in May 2025.
Thats new for us.
Call Them Dirty Roses a Southern rock band, but there’s layers to the Alabama group.Todd Dean*
But its right there in the oven.
I think you wont be able to tell whats new and old.
The Roses are Frank along with his brother, James, on lead vocals and guitar.
Andrew Davis plays lead guitar, and the bass player is Ben Crain.
Theres a big, wide range of genres to us, James Ford tellsRolling Stone.
Theres some country in there.
Theres rock flairs to it, then theres a lot of Southern rock.
Thats true of All Good in the Neighborhood.
The band wrote nine of the 10 songs onLost in the Valley of Hate & Love Vol.
II, but this song was the exception.
Cocaine and Whiskey is their standard show closer.
It got us started, James says.
The numbers of that song just went crazy.
It hit some kind of chord in people.
Their other staple is Shake It, and the two songs accurately reflect the Roses stage presence.
All four members can command a crowd, and both songs afford them plenty of time to jam.
But All Good in the Neighborhood is decidedly country.
Thats in service of the bands wish to avoid any one genre.
The Roses roots lie in Southern rock, gospel, and metal.
The other two members followed quickly.
In 2018, however, they began writing and playing their own music.
The band views a 2022 East Coast tour withCody Canadaand the Departed as their biggest break.
They ended up hanging out every night, sharing stories and music, and left as friends.
They are determined, kind humans to boot.
This project is the canvas on which those stories were painted.
From desire, to heartbreak, to anger, everything on this EP is real and visceral.
