What a strange blend of British Invasion and 80s pop rock this is! It's blending two of the most obsessively catchy genres that ever existed. How could you not get this song stuck in your head? I can hear a strong Beatles influence in there for sure, but it almost sounds like Wham!, too... I mean that as a compliment in the weirdest type of way.
The band is based in Los Angeles, CA and is currently self-produced. Their name is taken from the principal in the 80's classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which is just another reason to dig the group. Rooney has toured with other acts like Weezer, Jane's Addiciton, Audioslave, and OK Go. This song was on their second album, Calling the World, and it cracked the Hot 100 at #82.
