Bio: Twisted Rose, a four piece from Co. Tyrone, have been described as having the swagger of the early Guns N’ Roses, the sleaziness of the “rocks” era Aerosmith, and the power and style to show you how real guitar licks should sound. Starting out in 2003, they have built a steady collection of face melting originals, sure to get some heads-a-bangin!

The self-proclaimed highlight of their career was when they had the opportunity to open for ex-Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler’s current band, Adler’s Appetite, in the Rosetta Bar, Belfast. Meeting an icon like Steven Adler was for them an awe-inspiring experience, although, they have had there fair share of encounters, having met, and on occasion hung out with stars like L.A Guns, Kerri Kelli, Lars Ulrich, Alice Cooper, Roger Taylor and Duff Mc Kagan, Matt Sorum, Dave Kushner and Slash from rock super group, Velvet Revolver.

The originality of the band is what seems to gain them so much attention. There are very few bands that sound or indeed act like Twisted Rose in the Northern Irish music circuit. When you come to the show, you are guaranteed more than just a night of good music, but rather a spectacle, which all comes down to the fact that to them the show is as important as the music. Kerri Kelli, formerly of Warrant, Adler’s Appetite, Vince Neil and Slash’s Snakepit has been spotted wearing a TR shirt on stage now and again. So whatever you look for in a good rocking band, you won’t go away disappointed!

- "They enjoy what they do, and show it - they're very much a "foot on the amp, turned up to 11" kind of band." - Buzz Magazine
- "They seem to have a rather admirable policy of knowing what they like and playing what they like - an uncompromising and refreshing approach, and one that can only inspire respect."
- Robert MacIntosh
