Platinum-certified rising Texas-based country rock sextet Pecos & The Rooftops have served up a new single entitled “Rock Song” today via Warner Records. This time around, the band’s soundtrack is moving on from a toxic relationship. Vulnerable verses teem with raw emotion as Pecos Hurley tries to numb the pain of a breakup the best way he knows how, “While I’m missing what I lost, grab that Gibson off the wall, and drink a few.” He cranks up the distortion on the chorus as he waves goodbye with a parting gift, “Baby, you can keep the rock song.” The frontman finally closes the door on this chapter while the guitars blaze.
“‘Rock Song’ is a late addition to the upcoming 2-part album slated for release this year. It was written from a ‘screw you,’ sarcastic perspective about a guy that’s hit the end of the rope in his marriage and is content with going back and getting drunk by himself and his guitar—so much so that he doesn’t even want the ring back,” Hurley shares about the track. “But, if you listen closely, the song might not only simply be about divorce. There may or may not be a double meaning to a lot of the lines in the song. Regardless, it was a fun song to write with my friends, and it’s been a blast playing it at shows so far. Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy.”
“Rock Song” follows the recent anthem “11 Beers.” Continuing a prolific run for the group, other singles have included “Sweet Tumbleweed” and “Missing Peace.”
“Missing Peace” landed in the wake of “One Drunk Summer,” which notably marked the group’s first release since their self-titled debut album in 2023. It houses signature staples such as “5AM,” “Hurt No More,” “Last Thing I Remember,” “Bricks,” and “She Says.” Beyond generating nearly a quarter-of-a-billion streams, it has earned critical applause. Music Connection chronicled their rise and highlighted how “the country rockers continued kicking up dust through touring and recording.” Holler. praised, “It’s a close-knit sense of camaraderie that shines through in their live shows.”
Right now, Pecos & The Rooftops are in the midst of a string of headline dates and festival appearances — see full list of dates below. They have been perfecting a signature heavy blend of lowdown country and classic rock since their inception, with the band living 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. They’ve carved out a singular niche for themselves in the rich songwriting tradition of their home state, as evidenced by their debut Warner Records single “5AM,” which has amassed over 270 million global streams to date. Anchored by the heart-baring songwriting and booming voice of former Marine Pecos Hurley, the band is rounded out by top-tier players Jessie Santos (lead guitar), Steven Buehler (bass), Garrett Peltier (drums) and Jared French (guitars & keys).
