Every so often, a great band comes along that sounds like nothing happening around them. Upon listening to Cavalier Rose’s demos, it may come as a surprise that the band was brought to life in Brooklyn. Cavalier Rose formed during the winter of 2009. After getting together a handful of times at each others’ apartments to exchange musical ideas, the group gathered in the basement of Sarah’s house for its first full-band rehearsal in late February. As it was immediately apparent that this collaboration was yielding prolific musical creation, a recording session and gig were scheduled. In late March – after just 7 full band rehearsals – the band traveled to a 19th century sheep farm on the Connecticut River to record. Three days later, they returned to New York, where they played their first gig to a capacity crowd at Pianos. Two weeks later, The Deli Magazine named Cavalier Rose NYC Artist of the Month. In December the band embarked on a tour to Rock Island, IL to record a Daytrotter session, playing shows in Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor, Chicago and Madison. In these very early stages of Cavalier Rose’s existence, they are beginning to hone in on their goal: to change the face of music.

"Cavalier Rose make sounds that you must take loudly, ingest them as you would the roar of a thunderstorm pelting a roof and windows with a storm that is trying desperately to get into your house, to reach you and knock you out. It's something new and something primal...we're talking here about every emotion - all of them."
-Daytrotter

"Although they are a fairly new band in the musical epicenter called Brooklyn, Cavalier Rose’s sound could fool anyone into thinking they’ve been a professional band for decades...Seeing a band who deserves critical acclaim is one thing. Seeing a band like that in their earlier stages is another story that is very rare and humbling." -Beat Crave
