Daughter of British folk icons Rick Kemp and Maddy Prior (from Steeleye Span), Rose Kemp tried her hand at her parents' music, singing in and writing for her mother's trio when she was only 15 and releasing a solo album, Glance, in 2003, before she realized that her interests truly lay in harderedged electric guitaroriented rock songs. She selfissued a minialbum with help from members of the Oxfordbased band the Fourers, eventually moving to London, and then to Bristol, where Rose had developed a strong local following. With her band still back in the capital, Rose Kemp decided to work and tour as a solo artist, looping her voice to add harmonies and depth to her live shows. In early 2006 she began work on her record, A Hand Full of Hurricanes, and soon after started touring with a new band. In 2007 the album, released by One Little Indian, came out in both the U.K. and the U.S.
