Editor’s note: “Introducing…” is a series of feature profiles that spotlights lesser-known Chicago acts. This second installment showcases Chicago alternative rock act Rosaline.

The life of a working college student is unmistakably a busy and stressful one. Add to the usual commitment the responsibility of a band and you have Madison Stozler’s life. As a student at DePaul University and guitarist of Chicago-based Rosaline, a forceful and harmonious six piece, it’s a surprise Stolzer had the time to chat with me about their most recent happenings.

Signed to Eulogy Records, an independent and deep-rooted Florida based label, in May of 2009, Rosaline has now joined the one time home of bands such as New Found Glory, Set Your Goals, Unearth and Evergreen Terrace.

“John Wylie, the label owner, said that our sound was powerful, aggressive yet melodic and mainstream,” Stolzer said. “He was really excited to add us to the long lasting roster and we were excited to join.”

While being signed was perhaps an opportunity for a sigh of relief, Rosaline did nothing but speed up their pace. Going on tour in June and venturing out to Milwaukee to record a nine-song, 37-minute rookie record, A Constant North, with producer Joel Wanasek, which debuted July 21 with a release show at the Beat Kitchen.

“It encompasses all dimensions of our musical intentions, from two instrumental trance pieces to a soft lullaby-esque indie jam and some intense emotional hardcore in between,” Stolzer said.

All of these pieces to the Rosaline puzzle can be seen in the recently released video for “Culture Wars,” a song that features a range from delicate riffs and gentle lyrics to aggressive screams and even spoken word. A mix that naturally would seem problematic is mixed admirably to a video featuring nothing more than all six members playing their instruments in a newspaper-covered room.

With all of their work thus far, Rosaline shows no sign of slowing down. Sharing their music with others is what they plan to do as much as often. However, don’t expect a multitude of shows in the Chicago area all at once due to a little advice from Smashing Pumpkin’s Billy Corgan.

“He [Corgan] said never play in the same city more than once a month, there is just no point.” Stolzer said. “Do other things in the time between shows to strengthen your whole project, and make your shows quality.”

It looks like Corgan’s advice has worked well up to this point. Rosaline has a show lined up for September 5 in Crystal Lake but in the mean time are trying to promote their new record in any way possible. Plus, don’t forget, school starts soon.
