White Rose Movement were 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, The Sound, Killing Joke, 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.

“An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.”
