Bio
Rose Tattoo are an iconic Australian hard rock band formed in Sydney in 1976, led by founding vocalist Angry Anderson. Emerging from the Australian pub rock scene, the band became known for their raw, aggressive sound, heavy blues influence, and tough working-class image. Their music blends hard rock riffs with gritty vocals and anthemic choruses, helping define Australian rock music of the late 1970s and 1980s. They achieved major success with songs such as “Bad Boy for Love,” “Nice Boys,” and “We Can’t Be Beaten,” and released influential albums including Rose Tattoo (1978), Assault & Battery (1981), and Scarred for Life (1982). Rose Tattoo’s impact extended internationally, notably influencing bands like Guns N’ Roses, who covered Nice Boys. Despite lineup changes and periods of inactivity, the band remains a cornerstone of Australian rock history and continues to perform live.
