Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rooney formed in Los Angeles in 2001, originally with Robert Schwartzman on vocals and guitar, Taylor Locke on lead guitar, Louie Stephens on bass, and Ned Brower on drums. They put out their self-titled debut album in 2003, which included the track "I'm Shakin'." The band's lineup shifted over time, with Stephens leaving in 2007 and Matt Sweeney eventually joining on drums.
In 2008, they wrote the theme song for the animated series "Iron Man Armored Adventures." Their catalog includes the albums "Calling the World" from 2007, "Eureka" from 2010, and "Washed Away" from 2016. Songs like "When Did Your Heart Go Missing?" and "Blueside" show their range from pop-rock hooks to more straightforward indie sounds.
They've kept at it without much fanfare, putting out records and playing shows. It's the kind of steady work that builds a catalog more than a legend, which seems to suit them fine.
