Glasgow indie-rock five-piece The Rooks have revealed the official video for “Found My Reason Why.” Shot by longtime collaborator Daniel Blake, the grainy clip captures the band performing against the stark tower blocks of their hometown. The setting grounds the track in something raw and local, matching the urgency in the song.
Earlier this month, The Rooks announced their debut EP ‘Noise & Confusion’ will receive its first physical pressing on vinyl. They sold 100 personalized copies to fans in just 30 minutes, a clear sign of the connection they have built in a short time. Released last November as a love letter to their supporters, the EP continues to gain momentum.
“We’re looking to give back to the fans that were here at the very start. This is going to be a very big year,” the band shared. That energy is already visible on stage. The Rooks recently made their London debut at The Victoria in Dalston for The Money Trench Podcast and have supported Miles Kane, Brògeal, Overpass and The Academic across January and February.
They closed out last year with a sold-out headline show at Glasgow Art School, filling the 500-capacity room in the final week of December. The combination of packed hometown shows, growing festival buzz and new visuals signals a band moving quickly and bringing their audience along for the ride.
