Biography

Stones N' Roses are the most unique and ridiculous UK-centric musical act to come from America since Spinal Tap. The one-of-a-kind group plays the Stone Roses catalogue perfectly while dressed as Guns n Roses, then mixes their songs with bits of classics by the Rolling Stones, GnR and more. With a twin-guitar attack, the Roses' songs have never rocked harder onstage but it's the seamless mashups and medleys that make it revolutionary and hilarious enough to warrant crossing the pond for. The Shiiine On Weekender made them one of the only American acts ever invited to their annual festival, which they’re reuniting to play in 2021.

Despite the joke being completely lost on their fellow Americans, their debut video, "Mersey Paradise City/Water n' Fall", was shared by popular music site Slicing Up Eyeballs and 30,000 sets of eyes worldwide gazed upon them on its very first day. An untested UK-indie music comedy act specifically made for a British audience but hailing from the USA is simply unheard of but the Manchester Fringe Festival took a chance on them in 2017. Thanks to a glowing Louder Than War feature story, a false rumor involving all-midget Smiths tribute band Morrissette and a polarizing promotional video with 80,000 views, the California band packed UK clubs from London to Glasgow for one single, glorious tour and then disappeared...until now.

SnR is the latest act in the ever-changing, long-running San Diego project Cover Me Badd, fronted by Adam Gimbel. Past CMB projects have included such UK-centric bands as the Oasis parody the Fookin' Wankers, Smiths/Cure/Depeche Mode metal mashuppers Blasphemous Guitars, the ska-tastic .38 Specials Education and the modestly-named Beatles U.S. before aging gracefully into the elderly musical comedy act Geezer (GetOffOfMyLawn.com). Their collective videos have been watched less than a million times on Youtube.

Given their tongue-in-cheek history, the Manchester sections that make up most of the Stones n' Roses set are shockingly reverent. Singer Ian Brownstone gets as close to Ian Brown as any of the top Stone Roses tribute bands in the UK but the dueling guitars of his San Diego allstars puts them beyond any Roses covers ever played. Longtime Britrock fans Brent Jackson (Magical Animals) and Pete Bayard (Super Buffet) are treading familiar territory but drummer Trevor Levieux (Miss New Buddha) and former teen School of Rock all-star guitarist Josh Smith (the Havnauts) became eager students of northern English musical history. Smith is actually four years younger than the Roses' classic debut LP.

The band has had the rare pleasure of smashing "Welcome To The Jungle" into "I Wanna Be Adored" in front of more British audiences than in their own country but the combined moves of Jagger, Brown and Rose have been on hiatus since their UK tour four years ago. They’re finally set to reassemble for the upcoming Shiiine On Weekender in Butlin’s Minehead. As in 2017, humorless UK festivals, tribute bands and agents ignored them en masse but the band still lined up an impressive eight date nationwide tour from 5000 miles away by themselves. The second coming of Stones n Roses will include tons of new surprises onstage, proctology exams for purists and complimentary masks for the front row.

Get your lemons, lips and top hats ready.

"The best thing I've seen in ten years.....maybe ever."

-Kelly Davis, San Diego City Beat Weekly

"Gobsmacked."

-Stone Roses producer John Leckie

"The Stone Roses meet Guns 'N Roses meet the Rolling Stones. This may well be just what the world is waiting for."

-Slicing Up Eyeballs

"An unreasonably thrilling, hilarious and altogether genius affair. A gutsy re-imagining of rock and roll history played with verve, nerve and heart."
