Rooster - Info

London, UK (SONY BMG MUSIC Entertainment) - Rooster, in just 6 months, have gone from one of the most hotly tipped acts for 2005 to a successful UK rock group with sell out tours, a Top 3 album Rooster and 3 Top 20 hit singles. Their brand of sharp rock n roll hustle has acted like a siren call to a new generation of rock fans who'd been longing for a band to come along with some honest to goodness musical talent, personal charisma and a suitcase full of great tunes.

It has been a long time since a young, new group has come along with a rock'n'roll heart as big as that of Rooster. Nick Atkinson, 24, and guitarist Luke Potashnick, 22, went to school together, where their paths crossed from time to time. But it wasn't until they were both living in London that the pair got together and began writing material with a view to starting a band. Luke was by then studying for a degree at the London School of Economics, while Nick was at University studying English and Drama. Both of them had been obsessive music fans for as long as they could remember.
