![]() Rooney at the Magnet, Liverpool, 1999 |
Rooney were a British DIY band that released three albums between 1998 and 2000, including the debut album Time on Their Hands which received much support from John Peel, who booked them for a session in 1999.[1][2] They reached number 44 in Peel's Festive Fifty of 1998.[3][4] The lo-fi music incorporated sometimes humorous โ but often unsettling โ spoken-sung lyrics describing everyday, mundane activities and observations, an approach which was consistent across all Rooney releases.[5]
