In early 2008 Rook were described as one of the country’s best kept secrets by Beat Magazine’s Music Editor, the secrets out. After the release of their critically acclaimed EP ‘Add Colour’ in late 2008 Rook exploded onto the national scene enduring a grueling tour schedule that showed off the explosive and diverse rock songs of this well oiled machine. Rook's soaring vocals and powerful melodies translate into an energetic and infectious live show that punters crave for. With writing of their debut LP well under way combined with relentless touring, 2009 will cement Rook as one of the best rock acts in the Australian music scene, if not the world.
Feb 27th – March 11th Rook tracks ‘THEN THE JURY DECIDES’ and ‘ANIMALS AND CHEMICALS’ will be used as part of the online stream of the 2009 Quicksilver Surfing Pro held on the Gold Coast (QLD) with an estimated 4 – 5 million viewers world wide.
“Every flawless second of pulsating energy was greeted by the punters with a fervent, blissed out approval… This is a brand new Rook in a brand new skin. Over the past few months, behind closed doors, something epic has been taking place” (The Espy VIC - Beat Magazine)
“…soaring vocals provided an emotional lynchpin in the band’s combination of funk grooves and crunchy riffs… one of Australia ’s best heavy rock bands”
(The Excelsior NSW - fasterlouder.com.au)
“Oh I like that…” Dalai Lama (this is an accurate quote from his holiness in regards to the ‘Add Colour’ EP, it’s a long but true story)

Well done guys very muchly enjoyed it tonight, you rocked our socks (and maybe undies) off :-) your EP got a bashing in the car on the way home and we loved it!!!!
I can't believe it! Well when I think about bands break up all the time, but I am still shocked, I have been overseas for a few weeks and this is what I come back to.
Oh well I have seen Rook play once at the Ding Dong and I enjoyed it eminencely, so peace out, good luck and maybe see you play again when you might rejoin after a short hiatus.
Carl & I are so sad to hear the news, Forbes, Tyson, Adam & Rod, that you guys are all moving on, not just one of you. We love you guys, both as our favourite band, but also as some great friends that we have made through our love of music. We wish you the all the best of luck persuing your other dreams, and hope that our paths will all cross again in the future. We are honoured to have been able to host the very last Adelaide RooK gig. Much Love, Charne. XXXX
