Based in the West Midlands, Rosa Caelum is a rock band who is as equally influenced by Neil Young as they are by Radiohead. This eclectic mix of tastes, plus the band’s own personal stories, create an excitingly unique prospect. I’ve just discovered them courtesy of their new track The Lovers Were The Last Ones To Leave.

By Graeme Smith

The Lovers… is a song about life-long romance or, as the band put it, “finding someone who you would want to have your first and last dance with.” It opens with an echoing guitar riff before diving headlong into some vibrant, pacy indie rock. Emotional vocals tell its story during stripped-back verses and bouncy choruses.

Rosa Caelum are definitely hot prospects on the UK indie rock scene. I have no doubt these guys will be festival regulars soon.
