Glaswegian indie/rockers The Rooks, today release their brand new single, Get Up. Teaming up once again with GRAMMY Award-winning producer Jim Lowe (Foo Fighters, Stereophonics), Get Up is available to listen to now, here.
The anthemic new track is led by frontman Ross Gardiner’s dynamic and commanding vocals, which go hand in hand with the band’s already accomplished musicianship. Get Up has been a fan favourite during recent live shows, receiving raucous chants from fans, and will no doubt continue to go down a storm at future gigs.
Get Up arrives just a day before the band’s biggest headline show to date, which sold out in a matter of days! Tomorrow night will see The Rooks play a sold out King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, in the band’s hometown of Glasgow. This is no mean feat for an independent band so early in their infancy, but a surefire sign that this five-piece are on an incredibly successful and exciting trajectory.
The band have said of the highly-anticipated single release and show, “The reaction we’re seeing at home in Glasgow is cool; we’re at the beginning of this buzz around us at the moment, as people are starting to catch on. We released our first single last May and we’ve been on some good shows around the country since, but it’s nice to get our own show back in Glasgow, and it fill up that fast. Get Up will be our third single out, so we’re starting to get used to it all. It’ll be out the day before the King Tuts show, so I think the crowd singing it will be something back for us and it’ll be good to share with the boys.”
With support slots for the likes of Blossoms and Dylan John Thomas on sold out UK tours already under their belt, The Rooks have also caught the attention of Scottish singer-song-writing legend Lewis Capaldi, and Stereophonics frontman, Kelly Jones.
Despite having only released two singles, both last year, the rising stars are ready to hit the ground running. Last year saw The Rooks release said singles, Lay Me Down and Renegade, which have racked up almost 50k streams combined on Spotify alone.
