Enemy Rose

Promises we'll never keep [Rock / Alternative]

RELEASE: 30.05.2008

LABEL: I Scream

VERTRIEB: SPV

What originally started as a short jam session, ended in a marvelous mayhem when "Sammy 7o" and "Tommy X" (both from The Heartaches) decided to work on some songs they had been playing for years between the two of them because these songs didn't suite The Heartaches. They got in contact with "Martellotto", a young drummer with a shit load of talent. From the first time they hooked up, all parties were convinced of the greater good - ENEMY ROSE was born. On their last european tour with the heartaches Tommy X and Sammy 7o had come across a band from berlin "RADIO DEAD ONES" with an amazing guitarist called "Rik Oldman" When Enemy Rose came up, they contacted Rik and told him that he was the man for the job. Rik gladly accepted. "Andru Bourbon" radio dead ones bassplayer also joined ENEMY ROSE a few months later!
Expect the first Enemy Rose release in June 2006. This will be a split record with Mercy Killers (check site for their info as well).
