I saw Rooster on 'The Amp' the other day. My exact words were something along the lines of "what the fuck is this stupid boy band doing on here?".gif) |

"Rooster are four young upstarts by the names of Nick Atkinson (vocals), Luke Potashnick (guitar), Ben Smyth (bass) and David Neale (drums).
There has never been a shortage of bands who talk big. But 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 these West Londoners.
Atkinson, 24, and Potashnick, 22, went to school together, where their paths crossed from time to time. But it wasn't until later on 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.
The band settled on the name Rooster when Nick came home Ł250 richer after putting a bet on a horse called Rooster Booster. While the band is now ready to come racing out of the traps, all four musicians have put in many years learning their craft, playing live and walking the walk. It was Nick who was initially spotted singing in a previous band by Hugh Goldsmith. Goldsmith wasn't too impressed with the group, but he remembered the skinny singer with the raucous rock'n'roll voice and the long floppy fringe. So further down the road, when Goldsmith was setting up his new Brightside label, he called up Nick and asked him what he was up to. Nick said he was working with Luke in a new band. Not long afterwards, Rooster became the first act to sign to Brightside/BMG.
An intensive period of writing and recording ensued, of which the first fruit is a single, ‘Come Get Some’ which is instantly addictive with a killer hook and a grand canyon-sized chorus. Typical of the Rooster sound it is hard and heavy in an old school way, but with a modern feel and a nimble melodic touch." -

Registered 20 years agoIn musical terms it means that they play drums to signal to each other and then delicately play the fiddle with their toes. I've seen 'em live it's cracking to see Luke and Ben in a duet, such toe-work! -

I think it means they once listened to a Led Zeppelin album & their favourite band is the Darkness.

Her voice is echoed in my mind
I count the days till she is mine
Can't tell my friends cos they will laugh
I love a member of the staff
I fight my way to front of class
To get the best view of her ass
I drop a pencil on the floor
She bends down and shows me more….
That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
I know that she craves me
That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
Girlfriends I've had plenty
None like Miss Mackenzie
That's what I go to school for
That's what I go to school for
So she may be thirty-three
But that doesn't bother me
Her boyfriends working out of town
I find a reason to go round
I climb a tree outside her home
To make sure she is all alone
I see her in her underwear
I can't help but stop and stare
Everyone that u teach all day knows your looking at me in a different way
I guess that's why my marks are getting so high
I can see those tell tale signs telling me that I was on your mind
I could see that you want it more when you told me that I'm what you go to school for
I'm what you go to school for
She's packed her bag its in the trunk
Looks like she's picked herself a hunk
We drive past school to say goodbye
My friends they can't believe their eyes...

Were they listening to a different 'Rooster'?
'Instantly addictive' and 'killer hook' indeed! It's shite! Absolute over-produced pop-production-line bollocks! -

You'd think so wouldn't you - but nearly ALL of the secretaries here, from the age of 20 upwards, have Busted calendars, wallpapers, mugs etc all over their workspaces..
Perhaps they want to mother them* in some way
