the first single from our upcoming EP 'a strung out pilot' which releases to the world 10/2/19

lyrics:
time builds for better
and our roof gives me shelter
wrap tight keep me company
follow us out see what we can see
a long ride, but now we're here lets make it worth our while
slow down, way down, keep your eyes wide

quench my wasting days
we can hold this state

hold me over the water, floating, 
you'll be the one to bare me, you're beneath my skin
call out over the shadows, be there, 
wait with me everlasting, stay beneath my skin

slow up, ease in
through long enough we kept this waiting
banked down, past forbury
to pace it out see what we can see
a strung out pilot, lets carry this through and test the mileage
we'll run these clouded hills, touch the highest

quench my wasting days
and keep this remaining state

(falling deeper, ever steeper)

hold me over the water, floating
you'll be the one to bare me, you're beneath my skin
call out over the shadows, be there
wait with me everlasting, stay beneath my skin

(bridge)

hold me over the water, floating
you'll be the one to bare me, you're beneath my skin
call out over the shadows, be there
wait with me everlasting, stay beneath my skin

beneath my skin

roves' debut EP 'a strung out pilot', out now

lyrics:
She held the key for moments lost, 
Adrift through the year 
She fought for timelines that passed us by
Impossible to steer and hold to

But her song is gone 
drowned by the rows and howls of each occasion
Let me start a new, oh let me start a new 
Yes i was blind, at every occasion

We held out for brighter nights to make this right
But why don’t we jump and hope for a net to catch us where we fall
And we’ll brave the weather           

You hold the hope I came upon 
A lamp to guide me
from the year flown by, I feared it would take a while
To settle in my mind

Oh your song is sure 
Clear through the blur of the smoke from the chimney 
Let me start with you, oh let me start with you
Yes you’ve been clear, at every occasion

We held out for brighter nights to make this right
But why don’t we jump and hope for a net to catch us where we fall
And we’ll brave the weather       

In your mind, i see colour inside 
Through the depths of your eyes
I can feel you near im ready 
To seize you’re waiting arm and i’m sure	
We’ll brave the weather
We’ll brave the weather
We’ll brave the weather

roves' debut EP 'a strung out pilot' releasing 10/2/19

wonder

florence

lyrics: 
you had me dancing in the light of day 
but what if the sun was not meant to stay 
you drag me to the corner of the room, hidden from view
maybe its you, to pull me out of this

we walked slowly
this lullaby holds me now

where do we go from here
i was lost for a while, waiting to see out the year 
please let me fall in
help me to fall in

we took on the rain to find a moment, out of the way
we talked, i watched you smoking
a confluence that wasn't meant to be, that nature set free
yes thats you and me, just left to hoping

that time heals slowly
these wounds won't hold this down

where do we go from here
i was lost for a while, waiting to see out the year 
please let me fall in
help me to fall in

if we brave the rain, are we allowed to go home
damp at the gate, maybe we're left all alone
what falls apart, only allows us to grow
just please don't let this go

where do we go from here
i was lost for a while, waiting to see out the year 
please let me fall in
help me to fall in

that thursday night

written after our dream summer playing festivals and recording a Maida Vale session. here's 'i'm on your side' our song about taboo love and getting out from under your roots when they no longer support you.

recorded, mixed and mastered by Sam Winfield at Studio 91, Newbury

lyrics:
(verse)
take my hand and we'll both be forgiven 
we won't be waiting for long
you shy from the wind but I'll tell you lately
this surf will do you no wrong

i call it the truth you call me a madman
everyone's out with a plan
i think that its you that ive always imagine
so lets take that jump once again

(pre chorus)
into empty sheets as the moonlight streams through the gaps in the broken blinds
and the highway hums when the morning comes and you know i'm on your side

(instrumental)

(verse)
take my hand and we'll wait for the moment
this exits almost complete
caught in the rubble, escaping our trouble
i think that its time to be free

(pre chorus) 
you say you don't know so i say let me show you
see we've got nothing but time
im sure that its you that i've always imagined
lets take that jump 

(chorus)
cause you know im on your side
its alright, we can get away
and find our future light
there's no need to be afraid 
and i'll be by your side to see
through all those plans we used to dream
you know im on your side
on your side babe

(bridge)
i don't know how or when we got here 
i think it all started when faith departed
my eyes were drawn to your own shade of grey 
and it kills me to leave head our own separate ways
from the backrooms of bars and memorial parks
we seek shade from the streets and the weight of it all
that keeps us awake and our voices ablaze 
what im trying to say is 

(chorus)
that you know im on your side
its alright, we can get away
and find our future light
there's no need to be afraid 
and i'll be by your side to see
through all those plans we used to dream
you know im on your side
on your side babe

i'm on your side

a re release of our track featuring the wonderfully talented grace eden 

lyrics:
She held the key for moments lost,
Adrift through the year
She fought for timelines that passed us by
Impossible to steer and hold to

But her song is gone
drowned by the rows and howls of each occasion
Let me start a new, oh let me start a new
Yes i was blind, at every occasion

We held out for brighter nights to make this right
But why don’t we jump and hope for a net to catch us where we fall
And we’ll brave the weather

You hold the hope I came upon
A lamp to guide me
from the year flown by, I feared it would take a while

Oh your song is sure
Clear through the blur of the smoke from the chimney
Let me start with you, oh let me start with you
Yes you’ve been clear, at every occasion

We held out for brighter nights to make this right
But why don’t we jump and hope for a net to catch us where we fall
And we’ll brave the weather

Through the depths of your eyes

To seize you’re waiting arm and i’m sure
We’ll brave the weather
We’ll brave the weather

atmospheric and ambient sad songs

Emerging newcomers, roves are Ethan Morgan (Vocals/Guitar), Connor Coutts (Guitar), Ellis Morgan (Bass/Vocals) and Matt Jamieson (Drums).

roves formed around the musical partnership of lifelong friends Ethan and Connor, leaving their previous band to make music more consistent with their listening habits - gradually expanding to a four piece with Ethan’s brother Ellis on bass plus Matt on drums. 

roves’ music can be characterised as ‘atmospheric and ambient sad songs’ and in the past year have released 4 singles as well as their debut EP ‘a strung out pilot’. Recent shows have included packed headline BBC Introducing gigs in their hometown and Guildford’s Boileroom as well as support slots for bands such as Valeras, IVORY WAVE and the Tin Pigeons in cities such as London, Cardiff and Oxford. roves have also enjoyed consistent radio play across their local BBC Introducing Berkshire and also featured on BBC Radio 6.

The band name came about while driving, to rove being defined as ‘a journey without a destination’ which resonated to the bands approach to making music as well as roves’ musical style.

Future shows include headline shows at the Purple Turtle for BBC Introducing on 17th April and more yet to be announced.
