1) Subrosa was a doom metal group hailing from Salt Lake City, UT, United States, formed in 2005. Bandmembers Rebecca Vernon (Guitar, vocals, The Keening), Sarah Pendleton (Electric violin, vocals, The Otolith/Asphodel Wine/Avarice), Kim Pack (Electric violin, vocals, The Otolith/Avarice/Teleprom), Levi Hanna ( Bass, The Otolith) and Andy Patterson ( Drums, The Otolith/Insect Ark/Døne) produced an eclectic mix of stoner / sludge metal with neoclassical undertones. To quote Sarah,"We are attempting to be the sonic interpreters of that which is intangible".
The band's first full-length album, Strega, emerged in 2008 on I Hate records. Lineup instability undulated up to the following year's EP Swans Trapped in Ice, afterwhich the current lineup solidified and began conception.
The sophmore release No Help for the Mighty Ones found release through leading indie metal label Profound Lore in early 2011, granting the group much-deserved praise and exposure. The band has played festivals and shows in Salt Lake City, and a couple short tours in the US and Europe, recently rounding out CrucialFest with Witch Mountain. Latest album to date More Constant Than The Gods was released September 17 2013. Subrosa announced their breakup on Facebook on 20 May 2019.

2) Subrosa was a rock band from Gainesville, FL, United States, founded by Travis Tooke and Jack Griego after the accident that involved the band For Squirrels, killing members Jack Vigliatura and Bill White and tour manager Tim Bender. Griego and Tooke suffered multiple injuries, but survived the crash.
A few months after the accident, Tooke and Griego regrouped with school friend Andy Lord on bass and Tooke taking over on vocals. In February 1996, the new lineup began by playing a few low-key shows centered around classic For Squirrels songs and a selection of covers under the pseudonym Revlover. Eventually, they resurrected the For Squirrels moniker and began writing and performing new material, favoring a heavier grunge sound.
By late 1996, the trio was playing under the name Subrosa. In the summer of 1997, they released their only record under this name, "Never Bet the Devil Your Head", on Sony Records, to decent reviews but poor sales. Second guitarist Mike Amish was later added, which was followed by a tour supporting popular alternative rock act Creed. Griego eventually parted ways with the group and was replaced in the band’s final years by Rusty Valentine. They disbanded in 2001.
3) Subrosa is an acoustic three-piece hailing from the Midlands, UK. They play a mix of pop, folk, soul and rock inspired guitar. The two guitarists have a background in post hardcore and progressive rock. The vocalist comes from a background in soul and jazz funk. Official website: http://www.subrosamusic.co.uk

Christine
SubRosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The don't want you anymore
He beat you till were raw
Then he took something more
Christine
At school the girls call you a whore
But they look you up and down
You found that you were weak
At forgiving enemies
So much darkness in that room
No one gets you, no one could
Never giving in
Never again
The song "Christine" by SubRosa talks about a young girl named Christine who is a victim of domestic violence. The first verse describes her situation at home where she hears whispers on the back porch indicating that her abuser doesn't want her anymore. She has been beaten to the point where her wounds are raw and on top of that, something else has been taken from her. The second verse talks about how Christine is also bullied at school. The girls call her a whore and take her lunch money, and even though they look her up and down, they fail to understand the pain and trauma she goes through. The chorus, where the name "Christine" is mentioned, talks about her resolve to never give in again to the abuse and the darkness that surrounds her.
This song highlights the issue of domestic violence and the impact it has on the victim's life. It shows how it doesn't just affect the victim within the walls of their house, but also in their school and social lives. The lyrics also depict the psychological trauma that a victim of abuse goes through, including feelings of weakness and isolation.
Line by Line Meaning
Whispers on the back porch
People gossip about you behind your back
They don't want you anymore
Someone close to you has turned their back on you
He beat you till were raw
You were physically abused and left with painful bruises
Then he took something more
You were sexually assaulted by your abuser
Christine
This is your name
At school the girls call you a whore
You are bullied and shamed by others for no reason
Your lunch money on the floor
Your bullies steal from you and humiliate you in public
But they look you up and down
You are objectified and judged solely on your appearance
You found that you were weak
You struggled with forgiving those who hurt you
At forgiving enemies
You tried to let go of the pain and anger they caused you
So much darkness in that room
The trauma and abuse you experienced has left you feeling helpless and alone
No one gets you, no one could
You feel misunderstood and isolated from others
Never giving in
Despite the pain and suffering, you refuse to give up
Never again
You vow to never let anyone hurt you again
