The track is their first single since a recent name change for the band
Catharsis and frustration seem to be the crux of Newcastle band Roses In December and their emphatic sound, with the band often tapping into themes like greed, violence and toxic masculinity and providing the kind of aural assault that comes with the territory, pulling no punches and making for some memorable and explosive sounds.
Their latest single ‘The Day That He Saw Red’ sees the band delve further into toxic masculinity through their intense and aggressive grungy sound, looking to get inside the mind of somebody who has been consumed by rage to the point of no return, making for a feral and ferocious listening experience that pulls no punches. Inspired by a killer from the North East of England, the track has a truly blistering and alarming feel to it throughout which makes it feel all the more potent and memorable. Their expansive, riffy sound and uncompromising, dynamic edge make for a riot of a time, matching the sinister tone of the narrative seamlessly.
“This is another song where we’re telling a local story of toxic masculinity,” the band says. “The lyrics to this song were based on true events. Our bassist created the hook to the song and collaborated with Max who put the structure. It all came to place within one practice.”
