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?

Beautiful Beatlesque PowerPop from a band that should have been known to more people. Anyone with a love for great melodies and jangly guitar a la early Marshall Crenshaw, Richard X. Heyman (who drummed for them!) and Tommy Keene will dig this stuff.
Check out the leader's earlier incarnation with The Broken Hearts also. More cool tunes...
