After 2 years (and 3 years before that as Purple Patch), SUB-ROSA have decided to call it a day and move on to pastures new.
                       Jay, our bass man, has rightfully accepted the offer of a place at theAcademy of Contemporary Music, Guildford. We wish him the very best of luck for the future.
                   Col our frontman has also decided to 'hang up the mic' and concentrate on spending time with his wife and three lovely kids.
                    Word round the campfire is that Dan is gonna come out from behind the drumkit and try some of his own material (vocals/bass) so watch out for that cus like his brother Col, he's got a great voice.
         Joe and Tim will still be looking for new ways too extort weird and wonderful noises from their guitars so don't get too comfortable just yet! (potential collaborators should get in touch).
 You can hear 5 of the 10 album tracks (which we recorded ourselves on a laptop in 7 hours) on our MySpace page.

Thanks for all your support, gigs, comments, and taking time to check out SUB-ROSA

                                    Col, Dan,Tim, Joe & Jay
