It can be said that a true artist can only be judged by its live abilities. Rose Hill Drive took this maxim and put it to the test before ever releasing an album. The band built an enormous underground fan base with thrilling live shows, with lyrics that connect, and with a completely earnest approach. It’s a re-awakening of the spirit of music that motivates this band, and Rose Hill Drive’s spiritual connection with its congregation remains unparalleled. This organic and grass roots process has let the fans and then the music business come to them. It’s very important to the band that it happened in that order – music first, business later.



Combining rock and blues with modern touches and clever arrangements, Rose Hill Drive thrives off of high energy and remaining unpredictable. On stage, you never know what the band is going to do next, and this attitude has been injected into its first album. You have well-crafted rock songs, yet very challenging and epic songwriting. It’s not uncommon for them to go from a driving 3-minute song to an epic 9-minute song. Written by all three band members, produced by Rose Hill Drive and Nick DiDia (Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam), and recorded in January 2006 at Southern Tracks in Altanta, Georgia, this self-titled effort was done the way the music should be done – no pro tools, no auto-tuning, no studio tricks, but just pure, raw energy straight to tape.



After forming in high school in Boulder, Colorado, Rose Hill Drive became one of the most sought-after live bands garnering respect from critics and reverence from its peers. And it’s no secret that this band has been the talk of some legendary musicians. Rose Hill Drive has done dates with Robert Randolph, Wilco, The Who, Queens Of The Stone Age, and also performed at Bonnaroo, Red Rocks, Austin City Limits, and the Warped Tour. Even Eddie Van Halen requested Rose Hill Drive to open for them.



Rose Hill Drive consist of Jake Sproul, Daniel Sproul, Nathan Barnes and their combined ages make them younger than Keith Richards.
