Rosamilia has before stated that he has "totally superseded all expectations of what (he) wanted to do, as far as being in a band (concerns)". He also has a huge fondness of The Cure, as much to calling them "the best band ever" and claiming their album Disintegration is the "best record of all time".
His early career involved being in bands such as 'The Killing Gift', which also included Benny Horowitz, now of The Gaslight Anthem.[1]
In recent years he has been in 'Spiro Agnew' which is essentially 'The Killing Gift' line-up without a vocalist. Also as of 2010 he has been in hardcore metal band 'Something About Death or Dying' along with Darrell Coco, bassist of Spiro Agnew, vocalist Dan Pelic, and drummer Wes Kleinknecht.
Rosamilia has been the lead guitarist for The Gaslight Anthem since their formation in early 2006. With the band he has recorded 3 studio albums, Sink or Swim, The '59 Sound and American Slang.
Rosamilia along with the other Gaslight Anthem members, Brian Fallon, Alex Levine and Ben Horowitz have advertised for Levi Jeans.
