Geffen Records

Rooney is a five piece band of Los Angeles natives that formed in early 2000. After self releasing two EPS and establishing a loyal following around L.A. and Orange County, the band signed with Geffen Records in 2002. The band toured relentlessly behind their self titled debut until the end of 2004, when they returned to L.A. to make another record. After many delays through '05 and '06, the band recorded the highly anticipated follow up, "Calling the World” with producer John Fields (Andrew wk, Switchfoot, Har Mar Superstar.) The sophomore album was released world wide on July 17th 2007 and features the melodic songwriting and dynamic playing and singing the band is known for. The first single broke into the VH-1 top 20 countdown where it peaked at number 8 and has become a top ten radio hit all across Europe.
