ROOK

About Me

We are an "independently owned and operated" Rock Band from North Jersey, who write original music and play as many shows as we can. Our goal is simple: Play our songs with hopes that people appreciate our music. We conduct our affairs utilizing old-school D.I.Y.- (Do it Yourself) ethics; thumbing our noses at greed and the selfish tactics of what is the commercial music industry. As far as we are concerned, the words MUSIC and INDUSTRY, don't belong in the same sentence. Keepin' it real! Music for the people- by the people- We hope to see you soon, at one of our shows... or just around the neighborhood. Drop a line, anytime..THANK YOU for listening!
