Rose Hill Drive is a blues-rock power trio comprised of two brothers (Jacob and Daniel Sproul) and a close family friend (Nate "The Foot" Barnes). The band formed in Boulder, Colorado, during the members' high-school years. A slew of live dates followed, including gigs with The Black Crowes, Wilco, Robert Randolph, and a festival slot at Bonnaroo.

The trio's shows were remarkable, especially considering the band's relatively young age, and two live recordings were released to capture this onstage energy. Self-titled studio debut Rose Hill Drive followed in August 2006. Recorded in the swampy south, Rose Hill Drive aligns itself with the band's '70s influences by shunning pro-tools, auto tuning, and other studio tricks. As their website states, it's "just raw, pure energy straight to tape."

"Showdown," "Raise Your Hands," and "Reptilian Blues" are whirls of crunch and craft that bring to mind Fresh Cream, the Black Crowes and, in Jake's bright young-buck vocals, Nineties Brit pop - albeit with a little less Jam and more Led Zeppelin.

Whole songwriting, imaginative time changes and plenty of old school shake and shiver.

Brothers Jake and Daniel Sproul and Nathan Barnes have done their homework, [and] the result is an impressive debut that pays homage to '70s guitar gods while simultaneously shaming the glossy sheen of the Audioslaves and Velvet Revolvers of the world.
