 The Cold Roses will have to reschedule do to an injured drummer taking down a vilian attempting to stop people from getting their Milk Sandwiches at the local grocery store.   The Cold Roses deliver a rock and roll infused, ( * )folk-pop sound with an indie music vibe that owes as much to classic favorites like Neil Young and R.E.M. as it does to new alt-country rockers like Ryan Adams, Band of Horses and My Morning Jacket. Without straying too far from the “3 to 4 minute” pop song formula, The Cold Roses add ( ** )a melodic richness and complexity to their songs that goes beyond the self-limiting three-chord standard. The band’s songs have been described as thought provoking with a ( * )slight melancholy vibe but offer an ( ** )importance of dynamics, emotional resonance, and personal urgency! ( * , ** ) paraphrase * – Dan Armonaitis For the Herald-Journal ** – Steve Shanafelt for Spartanburg Spark.

 Bands in the southeastern United States have caused a resurgence in regionalism during the past decade or so. Sweet Six Bullets, an up and coming rock sextet from the podunk town of Belton, South Carolina, feel they are up to the task of pushing the idea of regionalism to the limit. Culled from many years of living in a rural town that served as ground zero for field parties and bottles aimed directly at road signs, SSB take their big sound from the small front lines.

While other bands in upstate South Carolina may try to dodge the southern rock label, the guys behind SSB could care less. If southern rock means things get loud, dirty, and entertaining, then SSB happily fit that bill. They are southern and they play rock music. If their fans labeled their band dogshit and still listened and loved it, SSB would be happy to smear that label all over their drum kits and guitars.
