Kasper Rosa

Hailing from Belfast, Kasper Rosa have been honing their own unique brand of progressively-minded rock music since their formation in 2008. The bands influences are many and diverse, but what James Bruce (drums), Steven Butler (guitar/vocals), J Ryan McCormick (guitar/vocals) and Dave Shannon (bass) all share, is a passion for creating music that is dynamic, expressive and increasingly hard to define. A handful of tours around Ireland and the neighbouring United Kingdom, along with a few hefty support slots (Earth / Ozric Tentacles / 65daysofstatic / Mono / LITE / Maybeshewill) have secured the band a strong fanbase in their homeland. Summer 2012 saw the bands first international venture, when a slot at Somfest in Portugal was followed by a tour of the country, playing in five cities including Lisbon and Porto, as well as a headline slot at Braga's city of youth festival. Kasper Rosa's latest release, Icebreaker, is their most focused work to date, and sees the band fully embracing vocals - something totally absent in their early releases - and exploring evocative lyrical content. ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Discography DOUBLE A-SIDE: "Icebreaker" - (Silver Birch) February 2013 SINGLE: "First Breath, First Blood!" - (Silver Birch) September 2011 COMPILATION: "A Cheery Wave From Stranded Youngsters (Volume Two)" - (Flies Are Spies From Hell) March 2011 SINGLE: "Coronal Mass Ejection" - (Silver Birch) February 2011 COMPILATION: "Rock Sound Magazine Cover CD (Issue 137)" - (Rock Sound) July 2010 EP: "EP2" - (Field Records) June 2010 EP: "EP1" - (Self-Released) September 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------- contact e-mail: info@kasperrosa.com contact number: 07871674020 www.kasperrosa.bandcamp.com www.kasperrosa.com www.field-records.com www.facebook.com/kasperrosamusic www.last.fm/music/kasper+rosa Big Apocalyptic Marmalade.
