Album Notes

ENCORE ECHOES A great compilation that places the bulk of The Rooks' output onto one disc. Along with the band's debut album are the tracks from the out-of-print (and almost impossible to find) A DOUBLE DOSE OF POP and CHIMES releases. 21 songs including the original radio promotional mix (as a bonus track, not listed on artwork) of "Christmas."

BAND BIO:
Who are these Rooks? Do they sing? Have they ever written a power pop classic? Do they paint with sound? Do they believe that music is the universal bond? Do they drink beer? Are they happy in this ever-changing world? Do they dig Miles Davis, Led Zeppelin, baseball and Nick Drake? Do they hate the straight-jacketed, close-mindedly thinking, cookie-cutter, creative stomping, shoot-themselves-in-the-foot, waiting for the other shoe to drop, take what you can and dash policies of the music industry? Do they love their fans? Are they from New York City? Should you check them out? The answers are yes, yes, and a shout from the rooftops yes!!! Now how much more positive can you get than that?

REVIEWS

Great band & Great music
author: Tim Rovis
This compilation is just fantastic. From the 1st song to the last, perfect pop. I really feel that The Rooks are one of the world's most underrated bands. Michael Mazerella is such a brilliant song writer.

What a find this was
author: Carol Colburn
I found this cd in a used bin. It's one of the best finds I've ever had. I've heard of the Rooks here and there but never owned anything by them. I'll be paying attention from now on. I'm learning all I need to know from their site. I'm a new fan for sure.

Love this CD
author: Bradley Mack
This comp is full of some of the best melodic pop out there. They don't just jangle, there's a lot of rock & roll here too. Mike Mazzerella shows how versitile a writer he is and the CD shows how great the Rooks are.
