The Rosehips are yet another one of those bands that come from a similar place as Talulah Gosh or especially the Shop Assistants. Not quite noisy, but the guitars are a bit fuzzy, the songs all kinda rush forward and you're not quite sure if they'll get to the end, and the songs are all short enough that if you don't like one, it won't be long until you get another. There's nothing about them that particularly stands out to me, to be honest, but as a sucker for this exact type of thing I listen to them quite a bit anyway.
