The Rosebuds

The Rosebuds是來自美國北卡的獨立搖滾樂隊，成立于2003年，現在固定成員有男Ivan Howard和女Kelly Crisp。兩人相識在北卡的大學中，后來同鼓手Billy Alphin一起組成了The Rosebuds，在發行了一張demo后被廠牌Merge看中成為旗下一員，并很快發行了處女專輯The Rosebuds Make Out。隨后Alphin離開樂隊，補充了Jonathan Bass參加公司的巡演活動，并在此期間發了6首歌的EP——The Rosebuds Unwind。在2005年，樂隊再接再厲發行了第二張專輯Birds Make Good Neighbors。不錯的商業成就使得公司對其另眼相加，在公司的支持下，樂隊不斷擴充實力，并在2007年終于發行了他們的第三張專輯Night Of The Furies。 總的來說，The Rosebuds還是有他們實力的，他們的成功也并不是偶然。就像他們的名字一樣(Rosebud在美語中為“初入社會的少女”)，這種無所謂的創新精神和略顯羞澀的樂風的確會讓人莫名其妙的喜歡上。 Indie rock trio the Rosebuds formed in May 2001, shortly after Ivan Howard (vocals/guitars) and Kelly Crisp (keyboards) met while in college in Wilmington, NC. They moved to Raleigh that fall and enlisted drummer Billy Alphin (of Ashley Stove). After a split 7", nearby Merge Records discovered their demo in early 2003 and later released Make Out, their debut full-length, in October. Following that recording, Alphin left the group and was replaced by Jonathan Bass, who himself was replaced by Lee Waters for the recording of the band's second album, 2005's Birds Make Good Neighbors. By the release of their third album for Merge, 2007's Night of the Furies, the Rosebuds were down to the duo of Howard and Crisp. On the record they were joined by numerous friends, including Matt McCaughan on drums and the Shout Out Louds on backing vocals.
