I always feed sad when I think of what could have been with the roses, when i see the shite that came behind them it is some testament that for me, after their incredible debut, no band captured the epic and the mystic in the same way.antonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-16163236386069965922015-02-20T11:01:45.111+00:002015-02-20T11:01:45.111+00:00I don't think there will be a third coming. Ap...I don't think there will be a third coming. Apparently Ian has started a solo lp which would seem suggest there's nothing cooking in the Roses camp.

As for the 3rd coming? when is the new roses lp coming out? i'd love to drive into town one morning to see whole buildings plastered with flyposters for it, but i expect we'll find out by a facebook/twitter post. can they live up to the hype again after the promises made or was it just a way of selling a few more copies of their reissued debut?
