ROCK / POP

In the winter of 2005, after a gruelling year touring with their legendary Australian punk band Tantrum, Ronan and Mark had an epiphany. They’d been honing their song writing skills for years in the sun, salt and surf mecca of Perth, Australia, a sprawling suburban wonderland of pool parties and drop-top jeeps, and punk was starting to wear them down. A shifting mood was in the air. It was time to get back to basics, to bring back those sweet catchy riffs and sing along ballads, those drunken, hazy tunes, those break down party classics.

It was time to bring back Pop Rock.

Drawing from the music of their youth, Motorace, Icehouse, and John Mayer, as well as glam rock superstars like Poison, Guns n’ Roses and Metallica, the two struck on an idea to return powerful, tuneful pop rock back to it’s rightful throne. Recruiting the stentorian young talents of Ben and Andy on bass and drums, they formed Fools Rush In, and the odyssey began.

For the better part of 2006, Fools Rush In holed up on location to record their debut album. The project was completed in the summer of 2006 with the help of Laurie McCallum from Sumo Sound Studios. The result was an outstanding debut 12-track album. The songs are catchy, emotive and heartfelt with big guitars, bigger choruses and the biggest production the band had ever attempted.

While extensively touring across the country, receiving commercial and independent radio play, television appearances and selling out venues Fools Rush In took the initial steps of preparing for their sophomore release.

Partnering up again with their long time friend and producer Laurie McCallum at Sumo Sound Studios, 2008 sees Fools Rush In commence tracking for their most exciting release yet. The band ventured to the USA and Canada to meet with industry personnel regarding the release including sourcing engineer Mike Sapone (Brand New, Taking Back Sunday) to assist in the project proving the band is working harder than ever to deliver their unique brand of pop rock on a more global scale.
