Australia’s own Rose Carleo Band returns with a bold, soul-stirring new album, 42 Days, dropping Friday, May 15. A deeply personal and sonically rich collection, this release captures the essence of resilience, transformation, and raw human emotion. Fronted by acclaimed vocalist, songwriter, and next Queen of Rock Rose Carleo, the band has carved out a reputation for blending blues, rock, and roots with heartfelt storytelling. Joining Rose is a powerhouse line-up featuring Guitarist and Co-writer Mick Adkins, Bassist Bill Kervin, and Drummer Mick O’Shea.
42 Days marks a defining chapter, an album born from a period of intense reflection and creative rebirth. Leading the release is the focus track, “42 Days,” a powerful centrepiece that encapsulates the spirit of the record. Driven by Carleo’s commanding vocal performance and anchored by gritty instrumentation, the track explores endurance, healing, and the emotional weight of time. It’s both deeply personal and universally relatable – a song that lingers long after the final note.
“This record comes from a deeply personal place,” says Carleo. “It’s about navigating life’s challenges, finding strength in the struggle, and coming out the other side with clarity and purpose.”
Across 42 Days, listeners can expect soaring vocals, gritty guitar work, and dynamic arrangements that move seamlessly between intimate moments and full-throttle band energy. Each track reveals a different layer of the journey, from vulnerability and loss to empowerment and renewal.
Having built a loyal following through electrifying live performances and authentic connection with audiences, Rose Carleo Band continues to solidify their place as one of Australia’s most compelling independent Rock acts.
