With “The Waves”, Giant Rooks and Solann deliver an intense, multi-layered single about loss of control and being overwhelmed by emotions in the frame of a crumbling relationship. Moving between tender intimacy and powerful imagery, the song tells the story of a love that endures despite distance and inner conflicts. The song will be premiered on May 22 on German late night TV show „ZDF Magazin Royal“ featuring a first ever live performance by Giant Rooks and Solann.
Giant Rooks have built a reputation as one of Germany’s most compelling modern indie exports – defined by emotional songwriting, a powerful live presence, and steadily growing global reach.
In 2025 Giant Rooks played two completely sold-out shows in their hometown Hamm, Germany, which became an emotional homecoming but also marked a new milestone for the band’s success. Earlier in 2024, they completed their third sold-out North American headline tour, returned as special guest for Louis Tomlinson, and performed major international festival sets including Lollapalooza Chicago, Reading & Leeds, and Corona Capital in Mexico City.
With 4 billion combined streams, a RIAA Gold certification in the US, multiple airplay hits across Europe, and their latest album How Have You Been debuting at #1 on the German album charts, Giant Rooks have proven their sound is not only resonating at home – but has long been internationally relevant.
