00:00Right then, hi it's Chris again from the Star Sheffield and today I'm speaking to
00:06the lovely chaps from the Sheffield indie group the Rosadox. Would you mind
00:12introducing yourselves and we'll kind of just crack in.
00:16I'm Joe, I play guitar.
00:20I'm Keelan, I'm the singer.
00:23And I'm Callum and I play drums.
00:26Alright then, lovely and I'm Chris and I don't do any of that.
00:31Don't worry, I brought me sticks though.
00:35So anyways, let's kind of like crack into it.
00:38So Rosadox, I spoke with yourself a couple of years ago now.
00:41This was just before you did the Meadowlands gig.
00:44Is that what it was?
00:45Yeah, it was, yeah. We were talking about you performing tramlines.
00:49Is this your first time performing?
00:51It's your fifth.
00:53I think we've done three on library, haven't we?
00:55Yeah, yes.
00:56Ah, agreed.
00:58Right then.
00:59So, yeah, you're back again.
01:02What stage are you performing on?
01:04So it's the biggest one we've ever done yet.
01:05It's the Lead Mill stage.
01:07Okay.
01:08I was speaking with Daisy Peacock earlier.
01:10She did the Lead Mill stage a bit earlier on today.
01:12Nice.
01:13Nice little vibe on there.
01:14I'll come down and see you.
01:16You'll be hearing me heckling from the back.
01:18Probably choking because I haven't had a drink yet today.
01:21I've got a voice like...
01:22We can fix that.
01:23...like Doc Branning.
01:26So, yeah, you guys have recently released a new EP.
01:30Yes.
01:31Tell us all about it.
01:32Yeah, so it's called The City's No Good for Reflection.
01:34We basically wrote it about Sheffield, about living a life in a city.
01:38Yeah.
01:39And sort of the strife that you can go through doing that, but also the revelation of having
01:44friends, having relationships, stuff like that.
01:46And it came together almost as a conceptual piece after the fact of writing the songs.
01:51Wicked.
01:52Yeah, so we're really proud of it.
01:53It's done very, very well for us so far.
01:55That had the lead single, A Cross To Bear.
01:57So the lead single was Bittersweet.
01:59Bittersweet.
02:00But one of the biggest tracks off it ended up being A Cross To Bear.
02:03Because it's a song that's just connected with people at every single show we've done
02:07for the last two years.
02:08Okay.
02:09And what started out as just a personal little ballad has literally just taken on their
02:13new life at the live shows.
02:15Excellent.
02:16central point.
02:17I look a bit like a mountain.
02:18It's not official unless I reach across it.
02:21It's almost like a mountain and the way it rises that AP and it's like A Cross To Bear
02:26is just that pinnacle.
02:27Yeah.
02:28It's like an epiphany of sorts.
02:29Emotional climate.
02:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:31A lyrical epiphany.
02:32I like it.
02:33It's all downhill after.
02:34I mean, currently we're in the Wednesday ground, aren't we?
02:39So it's not been a great time there.
02:41So speaking of downhill, hopefully it's uphill again soon though.
02:44And you guys have been touring recently.
02:47So tell us about the tour.
02:49Yeah, we've been all over, haven't we?
02:51We did one of the biggest gigs we've ever done in London, which were really nice.
02:55Whereabouts?
02:56We made Camden Assembly.
02:58Oh, it's good down there.
02:59It's kind of nice.
03:00Obviously we're used to being lucky enough for people to turn up and see us in Sheffield,
03:04which we're very grateful for.
03:06And kind of going and seeing more people jumping onto us in these other cities
03:09has been a real kind of turning point thing for us this year.
03:12Yeah, this year it's really taken a step up.
03:15Yeah.
03:16Everywhere we've gone we've found that, you know, people are wearing the merch already.
03:19And we've spotted someone today, don't we?
03:21Yeah, I mean, we are in Sheffield, so, you know.
03:23But it is, it's amazing when we go to these new cities, especially sort of what they call
03:26the B-towns of, you know, areas that aren't the major cities.
03:29Yeah.
03:30We go and people are, you know, the venues are selling out.
03:31It's amazing.
03:32Yeah.
03:33That's good.
03:34Sold-out gig in Undersfield.
03:35Yeah.
03:36Lovely.
03:37Keep it Yorkshire.
03:38Yeah.
03:39Lovely stuff.
03:40And, like I said, you're in the middle of your kind of like festival circuit.
03:44So, what have you got coming up next after today?
03:47So, Tramline's today and then we're in Cheshire tomorrow.

04:34Yeah.
04:35He's able to play.
04:36Oh, fantastic.
