There are 2 bands with the same name:

1. An Alternative/Emo band from Rochester New York

2. A late 70s punk band from the UK with the single “Can’t Understand b/w Your Love is Like a Ballistic Missile” released on Posthumous Petal records.

Biographies are listed below:

1) Roses Are Red (2002-2007) was an alternative rock band formed in Rochester, New York & signed to Trustkill Records.

Roses Are Red formed in the summer of 2002 from the ashes of numerous other bands around the Western New York area and originally featured Vincent Minervino on vocals, Brian and Matthew Gordner on guitars, Kevin Mahoney on bass, and Michael Lasaponara on drums. Just 2 months after forming, the band recorded a 4-song demo and hit the road for weekend tours throughout the fall and winter of 2002. Their first full-length, Handshakes and Heartbreaks, was released in June 2003. The band toured the United States in July and August 2003 under their own steam. The band was named “The Next Big Thing” by Absolutepunk.net, and label interest soon followed. In the spring of 2004, Roses Are Red signed with New Jersey-based indie label Trustkill Records.

Playing select dates of the 2004 Warped Tour on the Smartpunk stage, the band built great anticipation for their Trustkill debut, Conversations, which was released in the fall of 2004.

    the clean/scream dichotomy is wayyyy too forced in this band... post-hardcore has become so boring and predictable

    yo these guys came to buffalo and there was only like 12 people out to see them and 3/4 of them wouldn't leave their seats at the bar.. and that was after 'what became of me'.. its hard trying to mosh with 3 people.. poor vinny had on his bills t-shirt and everything.. dissapointed by a low b-lo turnout.. super fun but totally underated band.

    It's not a bad name.. this band is basically dead. Vincent is doing it on his own now.. so time can only tell how it will turn out. You wouldn't talk bad about a dead person would you? Now it's over
