Acid Rose are a fictional teenage covers band from the Australian novel Invisible Boys by Holden Sheppard. Fronted by emo goth teen Charlie Roth on backing vocals and guitar, Hannah on lead vocals and keys and Rocky on drums.

The book inspired a TV show of the same name, but in the show Charlie's band is called Cemetery Drive, and the band members are Bec on keys and vocals, with Rocky still on drums.

From chapter 1:

At the start of year ten, the lead guitarist of a local teen party band – Acid Rose – moved to Perth. I auditioned to replace him and I got the gig. Acid Rose is my whole life now. I do lead guitar and backing vocals; Hannah sings and plays bass; and Rocky is our skinsman. If I could just get them to start working on originals, we could put an EP together, then fly to Melbourne and get it in the face of some manager or label or something.
