Blue Rose Liar

Blue Rose Liar is haunting hardcore residue featuring former members of The Pist, Brutally Familiar, and Boiling Man. Seething vocals are provoked by kinetic compositions echoing band such as Quicksand, Kiss It Goodbye, Today is the Day, Grade, and Hot Water Music. As each member draws from an eclectic range of influences, an unparalleled sound results. Blue Rose Liar prides itself in being an impossible band to pigeonhole. This has afforded Blue Rose Liar the opportunity to share stages with a variety of acts ranging from the indie/post hardcore of Party of Helicopters to the progressive hardcore/metal of Dysrhythmia to the punk rock & roll of Two Man Advantage.

Amalgamating their latent punk and hardcore roots, Blue Rose Liar augments this history with an intense paranoia. The lyrics are haunting poetry, a fractured internalization of universal distress emanating personal burden into collective accountability and hope. Blue Rose Liar musically reflects the sentiment of bittersweet agoraphobia and perhaps a dissociative mood, ranging from melancholy melodic to antagonistic rage. Collectively, Blue Rose Liar acts as an aural Rorschach test, evoking in its listener an emotional mix of grief, fear, fury, and compassion.

Societal climate often dictates visceral reactions. Recently, such a determination has dichotomized underground music. Independent music’s reflection of global ills and imposed anguish has now become an apathetic, nostalgia-induced fashion show; utterly lacking are the once strong staples of humility and humanity. Remaining vulnerable, Blue Rose Liar translates this instability into an introspective catharsis.
