Our Story with Rooftop Screamers – Love And A Power Pop Heart 03/23/2026

Wonderful review from Groover City.
🤩

"Rooftop Screamers know how to make a song that glows from the inside. There’s no fog here. I found tenderness, melody, and that emotional glare that we actually need from a love song. I had fun with this one. It gave me that feeling of lying down in a field, with a guitar in hand and the sky finally behaving itself. That’s a good place to be."

Our Story with Rooftop Screamers – Love And A Power Pop Heart Rooftop Screamers released “Our Story” - a power pop song about finding your true love in life, accompanied by a sketched lyric video.

The first review for the latest single: "Our Story" (feat. Royston Langdon) is from A&R Factory.
Amelia Vandergast might be my favorite musical and cultural wordsmith!
I'm floored by this flattering review.🤩

"As a meditation on the bliss of recognising the one person who salves the existential ache, few artists have paid a more fitting ode to the sensation of longing being stated in the most absolute way possible. The way this is mirrored with the segue into psychedelic 60s pop before the track builds back up in a radio-ready rock opera-esque way that Rooftop Screamers triumphs with affirms that Mike Collins is one of the most accomplished songwriters out there."

Today is the official release of the brand new song called: "Our Story". It's a song about finding your true love in life. When your missing piece is also your missing peace. It features the incomparable Royston Langdon on vocals and bass. Royston played the same Rickenbacker bass he used for the iconic bass line in the SPACEHOG song "In The Meantime". So honored to continue to work with him! On guitar is guitar wizard Dirk Sullivan and the mixing, engineering and production duties were handled by my life long collaborator Kevin S. Hahn
Links to the video and where to download the song are in the comments. I hope you dig it!

Happy Friday!
