Rooney was recently the musical guest on Lopez Tonight, and performed their single "I Can't Get Enough" on air and also played the 2nd single, "Not In My House" for LopezTonight.com. Watch both videosHERE. Both songs are off Rooney's new album, Eureka, which the band released on their own California Dreamin' Records this past summer. The official video for "I Can't Get Enough" can be seen at vh1.com. Recently while out on tour, Rooney recorded some acoustic versions of their songs "Not In My House" and "Holdin' On" on their tour bus, which were exclusively featured on Baeble Music and PopMatters. The guys also found time to squeeze in an Alloy Stream Out Loud session. Rooney is offering the track "I Don't Wanna Lose You" as a free download here.

 

Eureka is the follow-up to Rooney's two critically acclaimed albums - Rooney and Calling The World - and sees the band showcasing their most inventive and original material to date. Produced and crafted entirely by the band, Eureka not only succeeds with 12 impressive and infectious tracks, but spotlights the band's gift to craft intelligent and stimulating rock songs that have continually captivated both fans and critics. Developed through years of non-stop touring with artists like Kings of Leon, Weezer, The Strokes, Travis, Polyphonic Spree and Granddaddy, and two highly praised records, Rooney's irresistible songs have impacted modern rock & alternative radio stations and infiltrated video outlets such as MTV, VH1, Fuse and MTV2. Along the way, Rooney has built a fiercely loyal fan base and performed on THE OC, The Today Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Late Night With Conan O'Brien.
