The Rosebuds

The Rosebuds is an indie folk duo that emerged out of Raleigh, NC in 2001 when pop punk still dominated the airwaves. Helping to pave the way for the subsequent indie folk movement that followed in the mid-2000s, the band first captured its sweet, stripped-back sound on its self-titled debut LP, which was released with Merge Records in 2003. Though The Rosebuds would never rise to the mainstream attention of its peers and fellow modern folk rock outfits The Decemberists and Fleet Foxes, the group has nevertheless earned a loyal following that has only grown with each subsequent release, from 2008's Life Like to the 2011's Loud Planes Fly Low.
