ROOK ROAD (Diversity Rock) – Release their second single/video “Talk too much” from their self titled album due out in November 2022 #RookRoad
Talk Too Much – Hammond powered heavy rock!
Talk Too Much is the prime example of a gripping hook blowing right in your face without further ado, a true power rocker even by Rook Road’s standards. Meant to be played on ten, the song opens an imaginary tear in reality that sucks you in and spits you out – transformed into heavy duty steamroller to pulverize what’s eating away at your precious lifetime: “The song is about windbags who talk much and say nothing – only to obscure what’s been written all over their faces: an abyss of ignorance”. One can’t argue with that but might wanna add a great little something: Talk Too Much is the perfect symbiosis of a soundtrack and a pressure valve for, you know, the moment when putting up with this certain kind of clown becomes unavoidable.
The new video single lines up next to Kinda Glow, a rather complex song that deals with revolution while encouraging standing up for yourself and listening to your own needs instead of following others blindly. Rook Road, a band where all members are equally involved in the composing process, gives more insights as to how the songs came together during the pandemic: “The song was created during the first Covid lockdown in April 2020. Without the possibility for direct contact and jamming, we moved the songwriting to digital and exchanged ideas online. Everyone recorded their ideas at home without further ado. The subsequent massive exchange of audio files through the web can hardly be put into words – but it all worked out and surprisingly, Kinda Glow still feels like we were jamming the shit outta it together.”
The one who doesn’t get triggered to really rock it up might just as well cut their leg and jump into shark-infested water. Everyone else: Take the damn elevator up to 70’s heavy rock heaven and ask for Rook Road at the reception – you’ll be right home!

About Rook Road
Fresh to the music scene as they have been formed in early 2020, Rook Road are bringing back some tunes that may have become a little forgotten by some people but certainly the die hard fans won’t ever forget.
This is not only for all the lovers of the good old days of blues and classic heavy rock in the vein of Deep Purple, which the band reveres massively: Friends of contemporary rock compositions aren’t missing out either with Rook Road, who therefore label their style diversity rock. Starting out in wild jams, the highly experienced musicians noticed right away that everything simply fits perfectly and feels great – the chemistry as a group just as well as the way even their earliest ideas and song patterns came together. A creative path shaped up quickly – and the band decided to take it.
