The band was out of action for a while until along came a local ex-punk called Steve. Some practice sessions were arranged and the result was a new CD called 'The Flame Still Burns' released by German label Skull Records. Steve quit, he was replaced by Martin Cross. They went into the studio to record four new songs, the first two 'You Know Our Name' and 'Voice Of The Right'. The other two tracks 'Choose Your Side' and 'White And Proud' were released on a single by French label Boha Records. This is when Martin Cross quit the band and was replaced in 1995 by Dirk, ex-Close Shave. They went into the studio again to record six new songs for various labels. The first two songs were 'Feel Our Power - Feel Our Force' and 'Our Nation' and were released on the Polish label Thor Records. The next two songs, 'One Mission' and 'By Any Means', were released by Nordland Records. The last two songs were recorded but have never been released these tracks were 'Cheers, Thanks And All The Best' and a cover of Skrewdriver's 'Blood And Honour'.
Back in the early '90s they travelled with Squadron to Germany for a gig but were stopped by police on the motorway about an hour after landing. They thought it was just a routine check but they were made to leave the van and strip on the side of the road. They were held for a number of hours so the gig couldn't go ahead and then they were released.
In late 1995 the band went independant and come 1996 saw the band go through a line-up change, this time bass player Spen decided to leave the band to give one hundred percent to his wife and children. There was more studio time lined up, but this time they called on the help of Brad of Squadron to stand in on bass so they could record three tracks for 'Justice', a compilation CD to raise money for prisoners. It was released by French label BoHa Records. The three songs they contributed were 'We'll Overcome', originally recorded by French skinhead band Legion 88, 'Blood, Honour, Pride And Faith' and 'Segregation'.
The band once again had a full line-up when Stinko from Celtic Warrior, joined the band on a part-time basis, which turned out in the end to be full-time and it wasn't too long before the band was back up and playing live in Britain and Europe. The band decided it was time to record a full length CD, the result being 'Dreams Of Freedom'. They felt let down by the studio and the engineer. They wanted to go back and remix the songs but the studio had already recorded over the master tapes. The same line-up travelled out to Germany together in January 1997 to a private birthday party and played a live set that was probably one of the best they had ever played. This set was recorded and one year later and after a bit of editing to remove some of the “politically incorrect” songs and speeches the 'Live In Deutschland '97' was released by Movement Records. Stinko later died of cancer.
One gig they didn't get to finish was in Germany as a memorial to Stinko. The police raided the hall half way through their set in riot gear and a riot ensued. The band officially joined Blood and Honour in 1996 and set up their own self-named label in the same year. Graham (from Avalon) became the second guitarist. But due to the departure of Chris Telford the bassist, Graham became the bassist. Their final line-up was Jonesy on vocals, Tom former guitarist with Whitelaw on guitar, Graham on bass and Blakey on drums. Sisco was a one-time member of the band.
As of 2003 they officially became a recording project. In May 2005 Jonesy reformed English Rose with a Hungarian backing band and played a gig in Flanders.
Other bands featuring members of English Rose include White Aggression, Tattooed Mother Fuckers, Disturbed Mother Fuckers, Bulldog Breed (with members from Squadron), Spearhead (with Avalon).
White Unity
English Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As we slowly did divide
We fought within our ranks
It was another case of suicide
We battled hard and fast with people
Who knew we're really friends
We never thought these wasted years
We're going to reach an end
Now we stand together
Our might is unity
And never are we to divide
‘Cause we fight for victory
Our strength is Blood & Honour
And never will we fall
White Pride, we have white unity
White Power – that's the call
White unity is what we need
We can't let it split away
‘Cause fighting one another
We're never going to see our day
We've gotta stand united now
And give our all unto the fight
Give our nation what it needs
A people, proud and white
Those years we know we've wasted now
When we should have stood as one
Looking back is so pathetic
But the damage it was done
But with years of work and dedication
We're seeing unity
As we aim our anger, our aggression
At the true scum enemy
The song "White Unity" by English Rose is a call for solidarity among the white race. The lyrics suggest that instead of fighting within their ranks, they need to unite because they have wasted too many years battling with each other. The song stresses that they must stand together, and their strength lies in their unity. Blood & Honour is their source of power, and white pride is their slogan. The song is a symbol of their desire to end the division and work towards a future where they have a proud and white nation.
The song captures the essence of the white supremacist movement, which seeks to preserve the white race and its culture. The lyrics speak to their sense of brotherhood and identity with their race. The song's message resonates with many white people who feel marginalized and threatened by the changes in society. By calling for white unity, the song reflects their desire to reassert themselves in the face of what they see as a threat to their race's survival.
Overall, "White Unity" is a statement of the white supremacist ideology, which advocates for the superiority of the white race and calls for the unity of all white people. The song's lyrics reflect their fear that their way of life is under threat, and they need to come together to protect it. However, these ideas of white supremacy and separatism are not acceptable in modern society, and the song's message is divisive and harmful.
