Rootwork release single ‘Code Talker’!
"Just irresistible..." - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
Rock trio Rootwork have dropped their epic new single Code Talker out now via Ubiquity Project Records and available to buy on iTunes and Bandcamp.
You can watch the video, which premiered on Team Rock, now via the band's YouTube channel.
Code Talker, which is taken from last year’s EP Gallows Humour, sees the band showcase their full technically gifted repertoire as blistering, yet intricate, heavy guitar explodes from the speakers, punctuated by piercing vocals, beautifully delivered sweet harmonies all brought together by metronomic, brutal drumming.
You can also stream the single now via the band's Soundcloud page.
Straddling the line between elements of metal, post-hardcore, prog-rock and stoner rock, Rootwork are a band who take no prisoners, disarming you in a whirlwind of harmonies before bludgeoning your eardrums with a ferociousness that is as unexpected as it is welcome. They find the sweet spot either side of technical, contemporary metal combined with an energetic tunefulness rich in hooks, time changes and soaring choruses. Indeed, the aforementioned EP runs through a gamut of influences in just four pulsating tracks; embracing the sludginess that has become synonymous with the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age and Mastodon juxtaposed with the upbeat doom- pop made famous by contemporaries such as Baroness and Torche.
Comprising Max Woodhams (guitar, vocals), Jamie Benzine (bass, backing vocals) and Chris Booth (drums, vocals) Rootwork formed in Farnborough towards the end of 2013 having come together through their mutual love of heavy, melodic and complex rock music. In December 2015 the band released their first full length EP picking up support from the likes of Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing as well as a plethora of blogs, and are delighted to announce the official single and video taken from the record with the band eager to share their sound with a wider audience.
The Gallows Humour EP and single Code Talker by Rootwork are out now and available to buy on both Bandcamp and iTunes via Ubiquity Project Records.
