Rosetta Stone were a Northern Irish pop rock band from Downpatrick, Northern Ireland, which included the ex-guitarist of the Bay City Rollers, Ian Mitchell. The group released two albums and one EP before dissolving in 1984. The genesis of Rosetta Stone came in 1973, as childhood friends Mitchell, Terry McKee, Damian McKee, and Colin McKee (not the footballer Colin McKee) formed a band called Young City Stars. They played local clubs and dance halls, often opening concerts for the Bay City Rollers with their sound engineer Brian Herron.

  • Rosetta Stone es una banda británica de rock gótico formada a mediados de la década de 1980 por Porl King (guitarra/voz/teclado) y Karl North (bajo), más su sintetizador apodado "Madame Razor". La banda fue nombrada debido a la Piedra de Rosetta, un utensilio histórico egipcio, puesto que la banda utilizó mucha imaginería mitológica antigua, especialmente en su proceso de creación más temprana. Su primer estilo y su primer álbum reflejaron los típicos sonidos del rock gótico de los años ochenta. Su primer gran salto se produjo después de apoyar a la ya establecida banda The Mission. La banda luego pasó a un sonido más electrónico antes de disolverse en el año 1998. Sin embargo, luego de un periodo de receso de 21 años, el 2019 la banda reaparece con el álbum "Seems Like Forever",​ el que fue estrenado de la mano de la discografía Cleopatra Records. El 17 de abril de 2019 lanzaron el videoclip "Tomorrow For Us".​ (es)

They played local clubs and dance halls, often opening concerts for the Bay City Rollers with their sound engineer Brian Herron. In early 1976, Mitchell left the Young City Stars to join the Bay City Rollers. He was replaced by Belfast-born guitarist Andy LeGear. Mitchell would return later that year as the group, now managed by Rollers manager Tam Paton, changed their name to Rosetta Stone. In 1977, Rosetta Stone signed with Private Stock Records. They appeared on Marc Bolan's TV show Marc performing their single, a cover of Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love". Their eponymous debut album (known as Rock Pictures in some territories) was released in the United States in May 1978. A second album, Caught in the Act, followed in 1979. In early 1979 Ian Mitchell once again departed, to be replaced by Paul "Flash" Lerwill. Lerwill (a former Edinburgh DJ at local hotspot "Clouds"). Lerwill left the band in 1982 and was replaced by Enda Walsh. That same year the EP Hiding From Love was released, after which the group permanently disbanded. The tracks "Hiding from Love", "Remember" and "Straight from the Heart", were all penned by Bryan Adams. "Hiding From Love", which had previously been a #64 hit in Canada for Adams in 1980, became a bigger hit for Rosetta Stone, where it reached #46 in Canada in 1982. Adams would later record his own version of "Straight From the Heart" in 1983, and made it a Top 20 hit in Canada and a Top 10 hit in the US. Soon after their Roadie Brian left the band due to family commitments went on to produce his own record label in Miami, Florida, US. There have been a number of Rosetta Fests (reunions) where the band have performed together again. The final fest, was held in Toronto in September 2007 In 2012 they held a sold out reunion show in their hometown at Mullan's Bar, Downpatrick. (en)
