With a new single, 'Staring at The Sun', in the shops on January 10, followed by their self-titled debut album two weeks later, Rooster look set to continue building their avid following in 2005. This hotly tipped West London band hit the Top Ten in October 2004, with their first single 'Come Get Some'. A typically sharp and sexy rock'n'roll hustle, it was a song that acted like a siren call to a new generation of rock fans who'd been longing for a band to come along with some honest to goodness musical talent, personal charisma and a suitcase full of great tunes.

Now, with 'Staring At The Sun', a slower, more melodic track, the group are ready to reveal a another side to their personalities, although according to singer Nick Atkinson, the sentiment of the song isn't 'that' sensitive.

"The chorus is: 'You can't see anything when you're staring at the sun'," Nick says. "It's about being in love and not realizing that actually, they're a bit of a bitch. It's how love can blind you to a person's faults. Then suddenly it all becomes clear."
