Bio / Background
The Roosevelt was formed in late 2005 out of a series of solo recordings by front man Jon Mosher. Beginning with a handful of rehearsals in a pre-War apartment building in Northeast Washington D.C. (from which the group takes its name), the foursome quickly adopted those songs as their own, each adding his own flavor and style from personal influences. Listeners can hear traces of folk, punk, Americana, indie-pop, and plain old rock-'n-roll; all blended in a way that is at once playful and haunting.
Jon Mosher leads the group on vocals and guitars, joined by drummer Chris Carney, lead guitarist Sam Mitchell, and Scott Remley on bass. Within a few months of formation, the group had earned the attention of underground D.C. press for their presence and "polished songs with memorable hooks."
In June 2006, The Roosevelt traveled north to Brooklyn, N.Y., to record its debut release with producer John Davis of The Bunker Studio. The result, entitled "EP" and released on D.C.
