Rose Chronicles "Undertow" song

Rose Chronicles "Undertow" song off of their 'Shiver" LP from early 1994 put to images of the band comprised of Kristy Thirsk & Rich Maranda et al!

"'Undertow' is the ideal platform for Maranda's ability as a rhythmatist: The rocking motion created by his playing brings the song up that notch from good to great."

-Denise Sherpard/Ray Gun Magazine


The song was written by Rich Maranda, Kristy Thirsk, Judd Cochrane & Steve van der Woerd.

The lyrics are as followed:

"Undertow


I steal the fire from winters rose
I feel desire
A chilled rejection of azure skin
For mere affection

I give it to you I give it to you
A tempest will writhe
In my veins & mine eyes
So pellucid, the vain desperation
Your indifference is my demise
Your indifference is my demise

Opened my veins let you inside
Take me there all of myself
Opened my veins blissfully blind to the blissfully blind crossbones you hide
I give it to you I give it to you
To the crossbones you hide
I give it I give it I
Now Ive become ill & still
I want to nurture you back to health

I give it to you I give it to you
A tempest will writhe
In my veins & mine eyes
So pellucid, the vain desperation
Your indifference

The blood my lifeline
Watch it drain realize

I give it I give it I give it
To you to you to you
To you"

What genre would we call this band? To me they are like a mix of grunge, pop, and adult alternative. Soft rock with attitude one might even say
