That Band Rosaline Broke Up

They were more post-hardcore than metal, I’ll admit, but a few of you may have girlfriends who are way into these dudes. Tonight, right before you put it in, you can tell her they broke up, and it will look like you actually care about whatever lame music she’s into.

The Chicago outfit issued a cryptic, almost poetic but ultimately whiny (I know whiny, and this…this is whiny) statement to the fans, about Rosaline’s demise.

“It is with weighted lungs and full hearts that we bear the word of Rosaline’s departure from the music industry,” the statement reads. “The beast has been tranquilized and will rest in peace, quietly hibernating in silence for an indefinite amount of time while the watered down music forest of mediocrity and repetition toils on, devouring all in its path until it eventually consumes itself.”

Wow. I mean, that sounds like the lyrics to a new song for Rosaline. But I guess that’s that. Rosaline is no more.

The band were together about six years and were — at various points — signed to Eulogy Recordings and Good Fight Music.
