The band's self-titled debut full-length album deftly reformats the classic rock landscape with blowtorch hooks, enthralling harmonies, evocative touches of cosmic enthralling harmonies, evocative touches of cosmic country, and distinctively indie-minded songwriting. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eRookie's modern take on timeless American rock- n-roll pulls from all corners of the sonic map; it's familiar but fresh, lived-in but blown-out. It's familiar but fresh, lived-in but blown-out. It's the '70s\/'80s pop-rock sheen of recent tour-mates Cheap Trick; 3-minute precision songwriting of Big Star; loose Neil Young Americana; and the hazey, psych-flavored boogie of The Allman Brothers and Thin Lizzy. Though barely able to comfortably fit on most stages, once they're plugged in and smooshed together, it's a potent blend of power chords, blistering leads, and performance prowess beyond their years.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eLike local peers Twin Peaks, Whitney, and Post Animal, Rookie emerged from an idealistic grassroots, Midwestern, Midwestern, youth community-centric, DIY scene. House shows and divey all-ages venues were the preeminent performance spaces and rock-n-roll was once again king. There is an all-inclusive and care-free essence surrounding the band, as well as their audience, reminiscent of the wide-eyed drive and sense of purpose of an underdog sports team or- more appropriately, given their coveralls- a Formula 1 pit crew. 'Instantly accessible and immediately gratifying with its blistering guitar solos, gang vocals, and crunchy riffs.' - Noisey\/VICE\u003cp\u003eHold On Tight\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Can't Have You But I Want You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSunglasses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide Of The Road\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFake Grass\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElementary Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Way Ticket\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet's Get It Right\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichigan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiss United States\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eE Jam\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55133067149697,"sku":"1162545","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51AtxXGgruL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767040168","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1162545","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
