Sikamor Rooney's newest album is now available on cd and Itunes! This 11 song album includes performances by David Rosen (on lead guitar) of The Parlor Mob and Nicole Atkins with a revisited duet version of "I'll Level with You". The record was recorded at The Dude Ranch Studios in Wanamassa, NJ by Ian Larkin who was also the producer of The Gay Blades and The Chilling Details records.
Sikamor Rooney's sophmore record "New York City Gunner" was released on May 10th 2007. This album includes Quinn English of the band The Gay Blades on drums on the opening track "A Good Day For Love". The rest of the album was recorded alone by York in NYC. This was his first release since the 3 song debut E.P. "Love Hates" (2004), all which can be downloaded at Itunes.com, Napster.com, or purchased here.

Press:
East Village act Sikamor Rooney listens like a tasty tribute to our latter-day rock and roll saints.

Sikamor Rooney is one of those bands that has such an eclectic mash of personalities it could be destined to either blow up like a Molotov cocktail or be the type of concoction that makes you kinda drunk and want to get all sexy with a large woman.

I couldn't have asked for a better 26th band than Sikamor Rooney. As I crossed the finish line, they whizzed by me, seemingly unaware the racewas over. Their rapid-fire country punk sneered and spat with disregard like an unchained beast with rock star swagger. Scathing and snotty like the Black Lips with some of the retro sass of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, the trio barn-burned through grimy numbers like the Iggy Pop-ish "Dirty Dog" noticeably drunk even though it was only 5:30. Their final song couldn't have been a better finale with a more perfect title, wrapping up my marathon with three fateful, self- explanatory letters that sum it all up: "N. Y. C." - THE DELI MAGAZINE
Strange bits and jangled licks, Dylan versus the Kinks for the night’s last cigarette... SIKAMOR ROONEY send “New York City Gunner”. Street wise folk rock that roars as it rolls from bar to bar looking for a ‘Dirty Girl’ or two. Great stuff for gutter darlings and village drunks, six pack of PBR sold separately.
Hey guys, my band was really looking forward to seeing you and the Lonely H play at the Metro Gallery in Baltimore, MD. Why'd it get cancelled? Please stop in Maryland sometime soon for a show. We'd love to see it and meet you guys. Have a good one,
see you boys tonight! held off one more night of going down south to NC just to see you guys with my friends Ricky and Jessica Miller from Jewish Mother!
Great to share the stage with you guys again last night. All of the new material fucking rocks. I was especially feeling that last track. Broken strings, dead car batteries, nothing can stop your troupe du troubadour. Safe travels and best of luck with the rest of the tour. We'll catch you guys next time.
