Neon Rose was an hard rock band from Sweden formed in 1969 by bandmembers Roger Holegård (vocals), Piero Mengarelli (guitar), Beno Mengarelli (bass, vocals) under the name Spider; when Stanley Larsson joined the group in 1973 they took the name Neon Rose. They signed to Vertigo Records the following year. Inspired by Iron Butterfly, Emerson, Lake And Palmer and Deep Purple, Neon Rose were an experimental quintet that indulged in long, esoteric and frequently blues-based workouts. They debuted with A Dream Of Glory And Pride in 1974, which showcased the band’s instrumental capabilities, but also highlighted their vocal shortcomings. Two more album would follow, Two (1975) and Reload (also in 1975) before the group split, with Roger going on to join Wasa Express. The band are now considered to be among the first hard rock bands of Sweden.
