Ex guitar
player and one of the original members of the neopunk band The Distillers, that formed in the late 90s,
pressed 3 albums throughout the 2000s, and had signed on to the HellCat record label.
They went on an international tour with other various punk revivalist bands on that label for the annual Vans Warped tour, with the likes of: Rancid, F Minus, Tiger
Army, and The Dropkick Murphys.
Rose sang backup for The Distillers at live events, and played backup rhythm
guitar. She has been thought to have been sort of like the "Sid Vicious" of Hellcat Records, in the sense that she was notoriously promiscuous, young, and strung out on
drugs, which added to the whole heroin chíc allure, that their lead singer/songwriter/frontwoman Brody Armstrong was apparently trying to emulate. Like Sid She had very little to do with the actual creation and recording
Her hometown neighborhood sat directly parallel to it's affluent suburban neighboring city Grosse Pointe, which shared the same bourgeois architectural aesthetics: Large Victorian homes, and
brick bungalows, that somehow sat annexed, and adjunct to the spoils of the
ghetto.
The song entitled "Hate Me" a track off their second album Sing Sing Death
House was written primarily by Rose, but the chorus was not.
