Roses Are Red vocalist Vincent Minervino explains, "We are overwhelmingly honored to be a part of this tribute to Smashing Pumpkins alongside so many great bands. Smashing Pumpkins was one of the first rock bands I ever loved. When I first got the tape of Siamese Dream, I remember being blown away by the power and majesty of the songs -especially "Cherub Rock", which we covered for the tribute. The song has unbelievable dynamics, musically and vocally. "Cherub Rock" marked the beginning of my love affair with Smashing Pumpkins and rock music in general."
