From Stage to Studio – Rookie Numbers Bottle Their Live Fire
From the very first beat, When I Met You bursts to life with bold brass stabs and that irresistible ska rhythm that gets feet moving before your brain can catch up. It’s no surprise this one’s a live favourite – it’s built to bounce.
The vocals are raw and gravel-edged, mirroring the band’s live energy with impressive authenticity. That’s no small feat – capturing the chaos and charisma of Rookie Numbers in a studio take is a tall order, but this track comes impressively close.
Rookie Numbers are weird, wonderful, and wildly entertaining – a fresh shot of adrenaline in the modern ska scene. When I Met You showcases their infectious energy, their tight musicianship, and their knack for writing crowd-pleasing anthems.
But make no mistake: as great as this single is, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. To truly understand what Rookie Numbers are all about, you need to see them live. Just be ready for a full-throttle, sweat-soaked workout – they don’t hold back, and neither will you.
Another stellar release from one of ska’s most exciting young acts. Catch it now on all the usual streaming sites!
