ROOKS is a 3 piece rock band formed in Calgary, Alberta in July 2018. The band features Jay Bowcott on guitar and vocals, Darryl Swart on drums, and Brent Rossall on bass. Their sound is unapologetic guitar rock, drawing influences from bands like Thin Lizzy, The Rolling Stones, and The Black Keys. Originally called Bowcott and the New World, the band are established members of the Canadian music scene. After a whirlwind year touring western and central Canada, the band headed back into the studio in October 2019 to record their debut full-length album which coincided with their name change.
