I've heard a couple of songs from Rooney. I'm not sure about the similarity between lead vocalists though. Rooney apparently supported Weezer at some of their shows years ago. Robert Schwartzman and Brian Bell talked about it briefly on Ustream last year. Which songs did you hear?

Have you heard the song Calling the World by them? I always think he sounds like Rivers at the very beginning of it. But maybe it's just me haha.

I've never really thought Robert sounded like Rivers, but they do make a similar type of music. The entire Calling The World album is pretty darn good. Nothing better than some good Power Pop to sing along to.

yep, been a fan since 2002. I don't, however, hear similarities Robert's and Rivers' voices. The debut album, and all the live unreleased stuff prior to that is great.

Yeah. I am just being prejudice. I am racist towards bands I have never heard.

I am picking up on what you are saying, and I've noticed that ever since I first heard Rooney.
They are big fans of weezer (Brian Bell was on the lead singers podcast). They've covered weezer live, and the lead singers older brother, lead singer of Phantom Planet is also a big weezer fan. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
