Rooster were an English rock band from Eastbourne, East Sussex. Formed in late 2003, the group featured former 50.Grind vocalist Nick Atkinson, alongside guitarist Luke Potashnick, bassist Ben Smyth and drummer Dave Neale. Signed to Sony label Brightside Recordings, the band released their debut album Rooster in 2005, which reached number 3 on the UK Albums Chart. The group's second album Circles and Satellites followed in 2006, before they broke up in 2007.
After his previous band 50.Grind broke up, singer Nick Atkinson formed Rooster with childhood friend Luke Potashnick, who had attended Eastbourne College with him on guitar.[1] The pair began writing songs together, before enlisting drummer Dave Neale (who had previously toured with Potashnick) and then bassist Ben Smyth (after advertising the role in the music press) to complete the lineup of the band in late 2003.[2] The name Rooster was chosen based on that of a horse on which Atkinson won £250 in a bet.[1]
Rooster signed with Hugh Goldsmith's Sony BMG sub-label Brightside Recordings and recorded their debut album with producers including Steve Robson, Pete Woodroffe and Charlie Grant.[3] The band released their first single "Come Get Some" on 11 October 2004,[4] which reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart.[5] Also in 2004, the group became the first to broadcast a live performance over the 3G mobile phone network.[1] "Staring at the Sun" followed on 10 January 2005,[6] which peaked at number 5 on the UK Singles Chart.[5]
After promotion of their self-titled debut album, Rooster recorded the follow-up with producer Matt Wallace in Los Angeles, California.[9] The resulting album, Circles and Satellites, was originally released in Japan in June 2006, where it reached the top ten of the Oricon Albums Chart.[11] The lead single from the album, "Home", was released in July and reached number 33 on the UK Singles Chart.[5]Circles and Satellites was subsequently delayed,[1] after a planned release on 24 July,[12] eventually being released in the UK on 2 October.[13] It reached number 192 on the chart.[8]
The band toured extensively in promotion of the release, with regular support band GetAmped joined on each date by various local acts nominated by fans.[13] "Good to Be Here", which was also featured on the soundtrack to the film Stormbreaker, was released as the second single from the album, but failed to chart.[1]
