Pecos & The Rooftops have been perfecting a signature heavy blend of lowdown country and classic rock since their inception in a big five-bedroom house in Lubbock, Texas. Formed in 2019 by a tight-knit squad of college friends, the band outfits their soulful Americana with muscular guitar grit, yet remains tuneful and melodic. Theyâve carved out a singular niche for themselves in the rich songwriting tradition of their home state, as evidenced by their debut Warner Records single â5AM.â Anchored by the heart-baring songwriting and booming voice of former Marine Pecos Hurley, the band is rounded out by top-tier players and songwriters Brandon Jones (rhythm guitar), Jessie Santos (lead guitar), Kalen Davis (bass), Garrett Peltier (drums) and Hunter Cassell (guitars & keys).
Big things have small beginnings. Pecos & The Rooftops chose their nameâa nod to the part of the house theyâd hang out, drink beers, and jam onâjust before self-releasing their debut single, 2019âs slow-burning âThis Damn Song.â It was a runaway success, earning an RIAA Platinum certification and going on to rack up more than 250 million streams globally. Deciding to ride the wave for as long as they could, the band hit the road directly after and havenât stopped since, touring relentlessly on the club circuit and opening for the likes of rising country star Koe Wetzel. They released the Red Eye EP in 2020, expanding on their already solid sound with more guitar heroics and more complex arrangements, hinting at jazz and psychedelic influences.
Hurley has a gift for exploring the shadowy sides of life through his songwriting, offering a clear-eyed and unflinching look at heartbreak, disconnection, self-medication, and wrestling with dark times. On â5AM,â heâs stuck in a self-destructive pattern, trying to live up to the idea of being the man he wants to be, but thwarted on all sides by his own bad decisions. âWish I could say that I saw it comingâproblem is I never do,â Hurley sings over a gloomy guitar line. âItâs too late to let myself feel something, so Iâll just keep running from you.â
âItâs about having a habit of going to the bar and getting drunk and staying up all night,â Hurley says from his home outside Dallas. âYou kind of know that when you go to bed itâs probably not going to end wellâbecause you fucked up again and you canât get out of the cycle. Itâs about being by yourself in the early hours of the morning. Itâs just one of those âYou fucked upâ songs.â
Pecos & The Rooftops have earned a devoted fan base whoâve come out to support them both online and on the road, with the band garnering over 350 million global streams and more than 101 million video views. Theyâre currently on a nationwide headline tour with more dates to be announced soon. â5AMâ is a telling preview of whatâs to come, as Pecos & The Rooftops ready their major label debut LPâa bigger, bolder collection of songs set for release later this year. âAt the end of the day, I just want to help people with our music, honestly,â Hurley says. Between the bandâs wild road shows and their highly-anticipated upcoming full-length, Pecos & the Rooftops are set to do that and much, much more.
