White Rose Movement are a post-punk/electro band from London, England. The band is named after the German anti-Nazi resistance movement White Rose. They mix the post-punk style and attitude of early bands of the genre such as Joy Division and The Chameleons with a more New Romantic image reminiscent of bands like Duran Duran, Depeche Mode and A Flock of Seagulls, as well as more modern electroclash and post-punk revival influences.

History

White Rose Movement was formed from the ashes of an earlier unsuccessful band named Arturo. Vine, Milton, Dyke and Harper were childhood friends who grew up together in a hippy commune in a small village in Norfolk. Erica MacArthur (known as "Taxxi") joined the band when Owen Dyke went throughout the London club Trash asking every girl whether they played keyboards. The band once ran a club in London named "The Dazzle!", which was situated in a venue used as a disco by the national front. Their first album "Kick" was released April 17, 2006, after a long period of media hype and critical acclaim from the British indie music press. Kick was produced by British producer Paul Epworth. The band toured with The Rakes across January and February of 2006, supported The Strokes at Hammersmith Apollo on February 17, and embarked on a headline tour of their own in March.

Also in 2006, they played at the Coachella festival in California and Festival Internacional de Benicàssim near Barcelona, as well as two tours supporting Placebo and other festivals. The band were due to embark on a headline tour of the UK in September, but due to Finn Vine being ill they were forced to postpone this tour to November/December of that year.

White Rose Movement opened for the famous French rock band Indochine on their August 20 in France in 2007 but also for Nine Inch Nails on their September 15 and 16 shows in Sydney, Australia in 2007.

On April 15, 2008, the band announced Taxxi's departure and replacement by Poppy Corby-Tuech, with Taxxi confirming on her personal blog that she had departed the band in January 2008. The band are currently working on their (as yet untitled) second album.
