With influences ranging from [The Beatles] to [Jimmy Eat World] to [The Kooks], Roslyn is stepping out with a fresh sound, taking mediocrity out of your standard pop-rock song. With a unique creativity and songwriting to die for, Roslyn is rapidly becoming a band you'll want to keep an eye on.
Long time friends and former band mates, Brooks Cullum (vocals/guitar), and Pedro Aida (guitar, backing vocals) formed the framework of Roslyn in 2007 and rounded out the line up by adding fellow Richmonder Alex Smith (bass) and Pennsylvania native Greg Butler (drums) in mid-2008.
In the few short months that Roslyn has been a fully-functioning, rockin' foursome, they have played all of Richmond's premier venues, including The Canal Club, Toad's Place, and the recently reopened National Theater. They have also released a 4 song sampler from their upcoming full-length "On Display", recorded at Aida's own Detached Sound Studio.
Richmond radio station Y101 has featured Roslyn single "Suicide Girl" on it's local music show Community Service, as well as having them perform live acoustic on the show. Roslyn also took part in the Y101 Rock Off, an annual event by the station, where local bands compete to open for a national act. With few live performances under their belt at the time, Roslyn beat out over 20 already established Richmond bands, making it to the final round and ultimately receiving second place over all. They were also featured in a video from local band showcaser Streaming Richmond and have been profiled in Style Weekly Magazine and most recently in WORK Magazine.
Aida and Butler, in a previous band (River City High), appeared on MTV's Dew Circuit Breakout, performing live in the MTV Times Square Studios. The band won the competition.
As 2009 begins, Roslyn plans to take the opportunity to sit down to write new material since adding new members and work towards releasing a full length record. This year can only hold great things for Roslyn - with rock & roll in their blood and the utmost quality in their musicianship, the sky is the limit for this Richmond foursome.

The song "Rosyln" by Bon Iver & St. Vincent is open to interpretation, and different listeners may find different meanings in the lyrics. However, here is a possible interpretation:
The lyrics evoke a sense of fear and uncertainty. The imagery of being up in a turret and feeling terrified suggests a feeling of vulnerability and being on guard. The line "Shale, screen your worry from what you won't ever find" could mean hiding worries or fears from something that will never be discovered or resolved.
The song mentions dancing and folds in a gown, which could represent a moment of escape or distraction from the underlying anxieties. However, the references to the sea, rock, bones, blood, and teeth eroding suggest a sense of decay or impending destruction.
The line "Wings wouldn't help you down" could imply that even with the ability to fly or escape, there's no way to avoid facing the challenges or consequences. The mention of gravity being proud reinforces the idea of being pulled down or grounded.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The line "When'd this just become a mortal home?" suggests a realization of the transience of human existence.
The repetition of "Won't let you talk me down" could indicate a refusal to be discouraged or influenced by negative forces. The final line "We'll pull it taut, nothing let out" could symbolize holding everything tightly together, not allowing emotions or vulnerabilities to be exposed.
Overall, the song seems to explore themes of fear, uncertainty, mortality, and the struggle to maintain resilience and inner strength in the face of challenges.

Btw , how do you live before knowing about depression? I mean idk about depression cause back then mental illnesses were severely stigmatized we only know about schizophrenia, but looking back yeah i do have depression since i was a kid, only difference is that I'm diagnosed at 18, but it's been around since i was 5, 24 now and still under medications.. well most of it thanks to my broken family..
I really wonder how or what 'normal' to others feel like.
