Blud Red Roses takes emotion and translates it into aggressive, driving Hard Rock.  Hailing from Central Jersey, the band is made up of longtime friends and past bandmates.  The group came together in 2016 and has not looked back, pumping out killer recordings and thoroughly rocking the Tri-State area!

Blud Red Roses’ latest EP “A Tempest Descends” is out now.  It was produced by Grammy Award-winning engineer Mike Ferretti.  Ferretti has worked with a number of great acts including Breaking Benjamin and Sevendust and he totally brought his A game to this effort.  You can score a copy of “A Tempest Descends” at bludredroses.com and keep an eye out for another new EP this Fall.
