Rose Chronicles was a Canadian alternative rock band in the 1990s. The band, from Vancouver, consisted of vocalist Kristy Thirsk, guitarist Richard Maranda, bassist Judd Cochrane and drummer Steve van der Woerd.
Their musical style merged elements of the shoegazing scene — they cited Curve as one of their key influences — with ethereal dream pop vocals in the style of Sarah McLachlan and the Cocteau Twins.
The band was first formed in 1992 by Maranda, Hand, and Van Der Woerd, with Thirsk and Cochrane joining soon afterward after responding to a classified advertisement in The Georgia Straight. By the end of the year, they had signed to Nettwerk after their third live show.
The band released their debut EP, Dead and Gone to Heaven, in 1993. Their debut full-length album, Shiver, was released in 1994, and scored a significant modern rock hit with "Awaiting Eternity". The band toured Canada as a supporting act for Toad the Wet Sprocket and Jesus Jones, as a headlining act with openers Acid Test and Treble Charger, and at some Canadian dates on the Lollapalooza festival circuit.Shiver went on to win a Juno Award in 1995 for Best Alternative Album.
