Biography

Indie rock trio the Rosebuds formed in May 2001, shortly after Ivan Howard (vocals/guitars) and Kelly Crisp (keyboards) met while in college in Wilmington, NC. They moved to Raleigh that fall and enlisted drummer Billy Alphin (of Ashley Stove). After a split 7", nearby Merge Records discovered their demo in early 2003 and later released Make Out, their debut full-length, in October. Following that… Read more in Amazon's The Rosebuds Store

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Night Of The Furies is the third full-length from The Rosebuds, and will have fans heading for the dance floor with "Get Up Get Out" and "Hold on to This Coat." Stylistically, however, Night Of The Furies follows a logical progression from their earlier work, 2003's The Rosebuds Make Out (MRG235) and 2005's Birds Make Good Neighbors (MRG264). The danceable beats meld with catchy melodies built on themes both dark and seductive. Thematically, the songs are presented as individual and random parts of a larger story. The mood is ominous yet enticing; dangerous yet enchanting. Lyrics explore revolution and struggle, actions and consequences, but also love and redemption. One could easily just bounce along on the infectious pop hooks. Dig a little deeper, however, and a larger story and unified themes begin to unfold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, May 31, 2007
By J. Felske (Chippewa Falls, WI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album was my introduction to The Rosebuds (I'm going back and listening to "Birds Make..." now). With that being said, I think it is excellent. It seems a lot of fans of their earlier stuff don't dig it because it is considerably different. There is a definite New Order feel to it, so if that's not your thing then stay away.

This is the best new album I have heard this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the detractors, this album is awesome..., April 30, 2007
By J. D. Herr (NYC, NY, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
...if you want a band to always stay the same and never evolve, there are plenty of stuck in a rut indie-bands for you to follow. This gifted band tried something new, and it really worked. The songwriting is awesome, the musicianship top notch...and yeah, there is sort of a New Order/Human League vibe on this album, but I don't really see that as a problem.

I would say this is an early candidate for one of the top album of the year slots (Particularly in a year in which a lot of returning artists have disappointed), and certainly another great find by mighty Merge Records.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best album of 2007 so far..., April 30, 2007
As an enthusiastic fan of The Rosebuds for a couple of years now, I was somewhat taken aback when I first heard "Get Up Get Out" on band's MySpace site and didn't know what to think of the New Order-esque feel that is quite unlike the earlier Rosebuds music. At one point in the song, Ivan Howard even does the "Woo!" vocal that we always hear from Bernard Sumner of New Order. I was amused, to say the least. After a couple more listens, though, I couldn't get enough of the track and decided that I was definitely going to grab Night Of The Furies on the day of release.

I'm in love with this album in the same way that I loved Birds Make Good Neighbors back in 2005. The palette of sounds on Night Of The Furies appeals well to my love of 80's synth-pop (New Order, Depeche Mode, The Eurythmics, and all of that). The Rosebuds actually channel the spirit of Songs From The Big Chair-era Tears For Fears on the title song that closes the album. Synth influences aside, Night Of The Furies is the sound of The Rosebuds further developing their own style that blends infectious pop sensibility with often poignant lyrical matter centering around the challenges and rewards of a relationship. The album has no real weak points, although "Silja Line" conjures up the quirky Decemberists sound a bit much for my tastes. All in all, it's a fascinating album that I can't stop listening to and that I can't keep still to.

Here's looking forward to The Rosebuds show in Atlanta in June...at the same venue where I first became introduced to The Rosebuds when they opened for Ronnie Spector at a Christmas show in 2005. (Don't cancel the show this time like y'all did in March.)

Night Of The Furies has my highest recommendation, so I trust that all of you reading this will purchase the album at your earliest convenience.

3.0 out of 5 stars More Kelly Crisp
Tracks with Kelly's vocals are superior. Most have Ivan singing lead, and they generally lack an "edge."

By far poppier than previous efforts, some may cry "fowl" after the earthy rush of "Birds Make Good Neighbors" or the more standard indie rock inclinations of their prior work... Read more

Highly dissapointedness. I liked the first two then they come out with this crappy mix of disco and eighties dance music.
