Blood and Roses - The Tower Falls

Blood and Roses - The Tower Falls - Early 80's Only 3 or 4 looping pics that I got from Blood and Roses MySpace, and the tune ends a little abruptly, but hey, there needed to be a Blood and Roses number on YouTube! I saw Blood and Roses live maybe 20 times, they could have (should have) been huge. All these years later, I still believe it was just down to the studio production not being up to scratch, it just never caught their unique live feel, and for that I'm sad. Anyway, Hope you enjoy! :) Same As It Never Was (Compilation Album): http://www.cherryred.co.uk/goth/artists/bloodandroses.htm About Blood and Roses: Blood and Roses were one of the most caustic UK gothic deathrock bands ever to be overlooked. They had strong guitar hooks and vocals that drip with seductive morbidity. Extremely dynamic, they were one of the best goth punk bands. Their guitarist was extremely talented, and they often had keyboards added into the mix. The songs could be slow and brooding, or fast and aggressive. Blood and Roses covered songs from John Carpenter's soundtrack work, some of the most modernly creepy soundscapes to be included in horror/sci-fi movies in the eighties, that make for perfect deathrock instrumentals. Guitarist Bob Short and Dave Roberts (Sex Gang Children) grew up in the Kill Your Pet Puppy collective (an anarchist/anti-vivisection group) in the 70s. Lisa Kirby, the singer, also did the album artwork for most of the Blood & Roses records, including the illustration for "(Some) Like it Hot".
