Rooster

UK rock-band shaped in 2002 by Nick Atkinson (vocals), Luke Potashnick (electric guitar), Dave Neale (drums) and Ben Smyth (bass). Atkinson and Potashnick had been former school close friends who reunited while surviving in London, after both accepted they were attempting to make a direct effect with their particular bands. They shaped Rooster with Neale and Smyth and, after just a few live shows, had been signed to the brand new BMG affiliate marketer label Brightside. The music group’s self-styled ‘griff rock and roll’ mixed hard rock and roll with pop but was advertised primarily at the united kingdom teen rock marketplace lately cornered by Busted and McFly. Rooster’s debut one, ‘Come Obtain Some’, reached the united kingdom Top 10 in November. The quartet received a lot of publicity if they became the very first music group to broadcast a concert live by cellular phone, making use of their gig in the Institute of Modern Arts in London on 2 November 2004 shown from the 3 cellular network. The quartet’s debut recording was released the next January.
