Rooney. The band named after Ed Rooney from Ferris Bueller. Formed in 1999, this band isn't quite as unknown as you think it might be. If you've seen The Princess Diaries with Anne Hathaway, then you have seen the lead singer.
Robert Schwartzman, the lead singer has been several films such as the Virgin Suicides, and he and some of his band mates were in the Princess Diaries as Fly Leaf. He played Michael, the love interest and Anne's best friends brother.
Random fact about Schwartzman, his cousin is Nicholas Cage.
The other members of the band are Louie Stephens who plays keyboard, Taylor Locke who is the lead guitarist, and Ned Brower who plays the drums.
You should definitely check this band out if you like artist like Weezer, The Strokes, Phoenix, The Kooks and Two Door Cinema Club.
So, here are my top six:
1. I'm Shakin'
I love this song, especially the first line “I’ve forgotten what it feels like to be normal.” How can you not love this song?
2. When Did Your Heart Go Missing?
This classic song is there most popular and it is for a good reason. This catchy song has an awesome music video too.
3. Tell Me Soon
So this music video has to be one of my favorites. Who doesn’t want their favorite band to appear on their balcony? This is probably my favorite song by them.
4. Blueside
This song is my current alarm sound, so as with all of these songs, it’s great.
5. I Should've Been After You
Like I’ve said before, Rooney is a great band and this song is amazing.
Robert tried to break out and go solo. I think he’s better with the rest of the band. Not many people can pull a Beyonce, but he tried.
Here is one of his singles off of his album, Double Capricorn.
