Rosebuds Biography
Indie rock trio the Rosebuds formed in May 2001, shortly after Ivan Howard (vocals/guitars) and Kelly Crisp (keyboards) met while in college in Wilmington, NC. They moved to Raleigh that fall and enlisted drummer Billy Alphin (of Ashley Stove). After a split 7", nearby Merge Records discovered their demo in early 2003 and later released Make Out, their debut full-length, in October. Following that recording, Alphin left the group and was replaced by Jonathan Bass, who himself was replaced by Lee Waters for the recording of the band's second album, 2005's Birds Make Good Neighbors. By the release of their third album for Merge, 2007's Night of the Furies, the Rosebuds were down to the duo of Howard and Crisp. On the record they were joined by numerous friends, including Matt McCaughan on drums and the Shout Out Louds on backing vocals. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide
