The Iron Roses

The Iron Roses exploded on the punk scene in late 2022, blending their politically-driven message of joy and rage with a melodic punch to the gut. Hailing from the East Coast of the U.S. and Queer-Femme co-fronted, their unique duet-style of vocals are delivered on the tip of a knife boasting influences ranging from punk to hardcore to ska and yes, even theatre. Their dynamics are honest and from the heart, calling out injustice and privilege, while encouraging joy, autonomy and community as a necessary backbone of the resistance.

“Ever since November 2024 we've heard the same tired bullshit everywhere — "At least we'll get some good music out of this." Fuck that. We'd much rather a world filled with equality, food, housing, health care, education, peace, and love. We'd rather not need the music at all. But the world is on fire, the people in power are pouring gasoline, and here we are. So thank the universe that we have bands like The Iron Roses. Because they are actually delivering on that promise — writing world-class anthems about the things we are passionately, viscerally angry about, in a way that no one else is.
Songs to sing at the top of our voices whilst trying not to crumble inside at the cruelty being inflicted on anyone without the privilege to look away. Songs to lift our spirits, steel our nerves, and keep us moving when moving feels impossible. And when we get to see The Iron Roses in person — when we get to share that fury with an entire room full of people who feel exactly the same way — we fill our cups. We walk away feeling a little less alone. A little more ready to fight.”
