Straight off the back of the single ‘Battle Scars’ reaching Top 20 on the iTunes rock charts, Rose Carleo Band unleash their EP ‘Battle Scars’ on April 20.
The juggernaut that is Rose Carleo Band is unstoppable, announcing the start of their tour in fan heartland – Western Sydney. Rose has been described as a modern day Janis Joplin, and her ‘tough-as-nails’ band back her to the hilt, with their gutsy guitars, driving bass and primal beats of four-on-the-floor grooves. The energy in their video ‘Battle Scars’ gives you an insight into what you will get live!

“Here’s the thing: Rose Carleo is the next Queen of Australian rock. Coupled with hot shot guitar-slinger Mick Adkins, Carleo projects both a magic and an authority that’s set to grab the live scene by the throat. Backed with the rhythm section muscle of Steve King of Rose Tattoo fame on bass and drummer for everyone who’s anyone, Mick O’Shea, you either get on board or get out of the damn way.” – Murray Engleheart
‘Battle Scars’ EP, a physical and digital release, with all tracks written by Rose Carleo and Mick Adkins, with the exception of ‘Battle Scars’ and ‘Coat Tail Rider’ written by the band, takes you on a wild ride. It makes you wish it was a full-length album to feed your inner blues-rock soul with more of the same!
“Mick and I had the songs and ideas and were at a crossroads with what to do next. We needed that something extra to push the envelope. Then by pure luck we met Steve King and Mick O’Shea and now ‘Battle Scars’ is the culmination of two years of hard work, playing live shows, writing, recording and putting our collective heart and soul into something we all sincerely believe in”. – Rose Carleo
Rose Carleo Band seamlessly fuse the elements of riffs, grooves, melody and infectious hooks to create a sound that brings a modern-day edge to the genre made famous by acts such as Free, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin et al.
Rose Carleo Band is Rose Carleo (Vocals/Guitar), Mick Adkins (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Steve King (Bass, Backing Vocals) and Mick O’Shea (Drums, Backing Vocals).
