about

Hitting all good record stores Wednesday 22 March and available for pre-order now, Feed The Fire explores the purpose and powers within the element of fire; destruction, regeneration, nurture and passion. The Rookies don’t take releasing music lightly, and seek to use this record to present a fierce and uncompromising call for a better future. The first all original record from the ensemble, the music has been formed into a continuous track in seven parts - a carefully crafted journey representing a simple truth, that until we burn down the systems that do not serve us all, we cannot grow to become our best. That our collective liberation and freedom is rooted in the liberation and freedom of all people - a future only made possible by feeding the fire and burning down all systems of exclusion and intolerance.

about

The Rookies Melbourne, Australia

The Rookies were born in the spring of 2014 on the forgotten end of Brunswick Street in a room full of sweat, beer and dim lights at The Rooks Return. What started as a quiet set of background jazz for punters while they imbibed their cocktails quickly devolved into an uninhibited, drunken dance party reminiscent of a time almost forgotten...

The Rookies are Jazz, but not like you know it.
