Eight Gigs: SubRosa

SubRosa puts out music that’s greater than itself. You know that vibe when you hear an album that’s going to stick around forever? An album that transcends its own sounds and ambitions to stick itself right to your spine for the rest of your life? That’s For This We Fought the Battle of Ages. Dense with narrative-driven passion and balanced with crushing sludge uplifted by delicate vocals and shimmering violins, the band built this album to live through a thousand spins. Don’t be a fool and miss out while you can still see SubRosa for cheap. 1517 21st Street, http://subrosa.cc.
