Music Fashion: Rooney “Washed Away”

0 85 2 minutes read

Rooney is not a new band. They formed in 1999, drawing inspiration from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” for their band name (they are named after the principal Ed Rooney!) and have gone through rises and falls in their popularity since their inception. The indie band gained popularity around 2004 when their music was featured in TV shows like The O.C. and All My Children. Their success waned toward the end of the ’00s, but they continued you make new music. After a 5 year hiatus, Rooney is back with a new album, “Washed Away“.

If American power pop and British Invasion rock had a baby, it would be Rooney. The L.A.-based band produces music that’s peppy, light, and catchy as hell. No matter what the song is about, the melody is infused with a rhythm that makes you want to nod along. Rooney’s new album “Washed Away” follows the bands trend of producing music that is fun and infectious. (Fun Fact: The leader singer, Robert Schwartzman, played Michael Moscovitz in “The Princess Diaries”.)
