Biography

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.

    yeah, Trustkill was never a fit for them. i feel like them and Bleed The Dream fell into the same unfortunate fate of never quite catching on like they could have.

    I agree with bobo, I was pretty much the only person in my school who even knew who they were. I always thought Trustkill was an odd label for the too, considering Trustkill usually went more towards the fashioncore or hardcore acts

    I still don't get why Conversations didn't blow up back in the day. It was one of my most played albums in 8th and 9th grade, but practically no one ever showed interest in this band. Underrated these days, like a lot of bands from the same era.

    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.
