Rooney is a five-piece rock band from Los Angeles signed to Geffen Records. The band is composed of 5 members: Robert Carmine, Louie Stephens, Taylor Locke, Ned Brower, and Matthew Winter. The band is named after the character Principal Ed Rooney from the 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Their music is reminiscent of British Invasion rock and 1980s pop, and has been compared to The Beatles, The Cars and Blur. Having toured the nation with acts such as Weezer and The Strokes, Rooney's official website states that the band "manages to capture elements from the past four decades and make them sound modern today."
受the beatles, tom petty and the heartbreakers, e.l.o., queen, the beach boys等的影响， 这个80年代出生的组合多少也有点这些人的风格，他们自称他们的音乐风格就是如海风沐浴般， 如威风徐徐吹来，节奏轻快，又不失现代感。和谐的音乐技巧，老少皆宜。
1999 年就成立的这个组合，来自LA，2002年与Geffen Records 签约， 04年回来LA一起制作另外一张专集，由于05，06年一些事的耽搁，所以说这个7月份将出的第二个专集可是等待了3年之久了。
此专集 CALLING THE WORLD 将继续延续他们清新，美妙的风格，并由John Fields(Andrew W.K., Switchfoot)担当制作。 ROONEY已经和很多有名的乐人有过同台巡演经历了，如大家熟悉的WEEZER，the strokes,sloan,the sounds,the donnas,travis,keane,the redwall等，相信他们一定不会令大家失望的
