RELEASE DAY: ‘Every Beautiful Night: Sundown Edition’ is OUT NOW! 🌅

Today marks the release of ‘Every Beautiful Night: Sundown Edition’, where you can hear ALL tracks from the EP in stripped-back fashion! This approach maintains the alternative-rock edge provided within the
electric versions, bringing Rosellas’ storytelling, lyrics and musicality further to life… and it’s absolutely brilliant 👏

Members Drew, Euan, Ollie & Mark say: “We write lyrics that fixate on the desire to wade through
the daily monotony of working life and focus your mind on key elements that drive you to success – like
ambition, passion and determination. We want guitar music at the forefront of the music industry again
and we want to be a band for the people – The everyman and Woman in the Good times and the Bad
times”.

The full track list includes full performances in raw, unfiltered fashion of:

‘Surrounded by the Light’
‘Happy Again’
‘Get Over Yourself’
‘Eyes of the World’
‘(I’m in Love with A) Songbird’

Huge release, congrats .band 🌹
