Pecos & The Rooftops

Pecos 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. 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 a nod to the part of the house theyd hang out, drink beers, and jam onjust before self-releasing their debut single, 2019s slow-burning This Damn Song. 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 havent 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 5AM, hes 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. Wish I could say that I saw it comingproblem is I never do, Hurley sings over a gloomy guitar line. Its too late to let myself feel something, so Ill just keep running from you.Its about having a habit of going to the bar and getting drunk and staying up all night, Hurley says from his home outside Dallas. You kind of know that when you go to bed its probably not going to end wellbecause you fucked up again and you cant get out of the cycle. Its about being by yourself in the early hours of the morning. Its just one of those You fucked up songsPecos ve 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. Theyre currently on a nationwide headline tour with more dates to be announced soon. 5AM is a telling preview of whats to come, as Pecos a bigger, bolder collection of songs set for release later this year. At the end of the day, I just want to help people with our music, honestly, Hurley says. Between the bands wild road shows and their highly-anticipated upcoming full-length, Pecos & the Rooftops are set to do that and much, much more.
