re�nas�cent
adj. Coming again into being; showing renewed growth or vigor.
The word sums up the essence of the Cleveland rock band Rosella. A product of five individual musical experiences that include country, hip hop and metal. Formed in February of 2006, Rosella's music is the audible testament of the band's singular vision� original and honest rock.
Approaching song writing as an artistic opportunity to convey everyday emotion and experience, the band's songs are universally personal and raw. "It's not important to be fast and loud, but rather to become tangible to our audience," says lead singer, Ben Marthey. The result is music driven by the rhythm guitar and complimented by crafted effects and bass chords. The hard-hitting drums enhance the energy while poetic lyrics baring a seductive quality, welcome the listener in until they find themselves effortlessly singing along.
Live, Rosella maintains the integrity of their recordings by adding the back up vocals of rhythm guitarist, Chris Dudas. "It's critical that our fans come and get what they hear on the album," says Sean Barbarotta, bassist. It is this commitment, as well as their commanding and relentless stage presence, that is drawing fans from myspace.com and other media to venues, and aiding the band in filling their schedule with enjoyable commitment.
