Berkeley-based alternative rock duo Like Roses have officially announced the details of their forthcoming debut studio album, After It Ends. Scheduled for release on October 23 via Hopeless Records, the 11-track LP consolidates the band’s burgeoning momentum by pairing established fan favorites—including “Buried,” “Wrist,” and “Nowhere”—with a robust collection of unreleased material.

• Thematic Core: The album’s conceptual framework is anchored in its title, offering a thoughtful exploration of life’s transitional fallout. The band notes that the record centers on the aftermath of significant chapters, examining relationship breakdowns, post-milestone emptiness, and the arduous process of personal reinvention.
• Artistic Integrity: In constructing their maiden full-length project, Like Roses prioritized compositional value over standard industry filler. The objective was to ensure that every inclusion on the tracklist carried distinct emotional and sonic weight, resulting in a cohesive listening experience.
• Visual and Promotional Integration: Coinciding with the album announcement, the band has released “Holidays”—the tenth track on the record—accompanied by an official music video. This rollout precedes an intensive touring schedule, which includes an upcoming US headline run and a high-profile 2027 European and UK support tour alongside Sleeping With Sirens.
• Industry Trajectory: Despite After It Ends marking their first full-length release, Like Roses have already established a formidable touring pedigree, having shared stages with major acts such as Pierce The Veil, Neck Deep, and Mayday Parade. The upcoming album cements their transition from promising newcomers to a fully realized force in modern alternative rock.
