Rosellas – Beautiful Lonely

Beautiful Lonely serves as Rosellas’ first release of 2026 & a taste of what’s to come from their upcoming EP Shadow Dancing due out 13th May. Last year, the band wasted no time in releasing new music, with their infectious indie rock Every Beautiful Night EP followed by a reimagined acoustic version of the same EP: Every Beautiful Night: Sundown Edition. 2026 beholds limitless potential for the Mancunian quartet, who are already lined up for the Shadow Dancing UK tour throughout March & April.

This new wave of tunes is inspired by a mix of artists ranging from the singalong choruses of Sam Fender to the
psychedelic, reverb-soaked guitars associated with Pink Floyd, embracing cutting-edge production techniques & whispery harmonies. Rosellas are now looking to build on what was a highly successful year in 2025, with appearances on Talk Sport live radio, for an interview & acoustic performance, gaining features on Radio-X’s X-Posure show with John Kennedy, & slots on Spotify playlists The Official Formula 1, Betfred Super League, Wimbledon’s Official Playlist & more.

The band comments on the new release: “Beautiful Lonely is a song about looking for answers, both in other people & within yourself.
We thought the mirror imagery was a nice way to show how people present different versions of themselves & how there can be a difference between the versions of ourselves that we present to the world, & that version of ourselveswe are, when we’re alone (i.e., when we look in the mirror). It has that fairytale feeling of “mirror, mirror on the wall…” which we really like & relate to.

Beautiful Lonely & the upcoming 5-track EP Shadow Dancing are dropping via Glasgow-based label First Run Records in early summer,
After Rosellas signed a multi-EP record deal with the forward-thinking & artist-led label.

Growing up individually in Manchester, Rosellas are Drew Selby (vocals/guitar), Euan Mail (guitar), Ollie Appleby (bass) & Mark Zanker
(drums). A chance meeting between Drew & Euan on the train back from a Blossoms gig was the catalyst that kick-started the band. Inspired musically by The War On Drugs, Sam Fender & The La’s, lyrically by Ian Brown, Morrissey & Noel Gallager to name a few, Rosellas have gone on to headline This Feeling’s Isle of Wight & Truck Fest stages, play a sold out show at Manchester’s Academy 2, & enjoy radio support from BBC Introducing, BBC 6Music’s Chris Hawkins, Radio X’s John Kennedy & many more.
