With Idlewild currently on hiatus, Rod formed The Birthday Suit with a selection of friends and local musicians. The Eleventh Hour sees him deliver some of the most passionate, fiery and powerful songs he has ever written. It creates a sound that captures the sound of early Idlewild albums, such as 100 Broken Windows - a real treat for old fans and new fans alike.
The album track "Do You Ever?" is currently available as a free download on our Soundcloud account. If you'd like a little taster, download it now.
