Rooney - Kids After Sunset (The Lost Album)
The self-titled debut album by Rooney, which was quite successful, was released in 2003.
In 2004, the band recorded demos for at least twenty-five new songs. The plan was for most of these to appear on their second album, Kids After Sunset.
However, the record label rejected nearly all of them. They didn’t like any of the tracks and essentially instructed the band to create a completely new album.
Only four of the songs made it onto the official second album, Calling the World, which was released in 2007 (with three more as bonus tracks).
The songs can be found on Youtube:

A complete list the songs from these sessions are (as far as I know):
- Ain't Gonna Cut It
- Are You Through With Me (later released on "Calling The World")
- Don't Come Around Again (later released on "Calling The World")
- Enough's Enough
- Get Away (later released on "Calling The World" - bonus track)
- Jump In My Bed (later released on "Calling The World" - bonus track)
- Kids After Sunset
- Love Is Not A Game
- My Sickness
- One Arm Man
- Paralyzed (later released on "Calling The World")
- Pin Me Up
- Radio
- She's A Fool
- She's got Everything
- Sleep Song (later released on "Calling The World" - bonus track)
- Something To Do
- Talk To Me
- Tell Me Soon (later released on "Calling The World")
- The Juice
- The Kids After Sunset
- Walk in The Room
- We Won't Work Late
- What Makes You So Special
- You Know Better
In my humble opinion, the songs that were scrapped were mostly fantastic. It's a real shame they remain unreleased!
