Rosemary - Benjamin’s Ego
Whereas dozens of bands dream about a big break in the big city, Rosemary kept their wits about them and soon they were holed up in Ranscombe Studios in Rochester, recording monophonic and one-take with Jim Riley - the producer behind Billy Childish's ragged, stiff-lipped, garage rockers The Buff Medways. XFM's John Kennedy picked up on an early demo of 'Suburban Kings', so that became the first limited edition 7" single on the band's own MA2 imprint, and sold out in a week. An XFM playlist and a handful of sessions made Rosemary something of a name to drop on the London circuit.
And while it's easy to place Rosemary's sound in some Great British lineage, there's far more to this band than slavish adherence to some long-stale '60s dream. "Sure, we like The Beatles, the Stones," chatters Jon, "But that's just the start of it. Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, Woodie Guthrie, Chet Baker" - just put their record on and pledge allegiance to the new sound of the suburbs.

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
