The track is available now
Platinum-certified rising Texas-based country rock sextet Pecos & The Rooftops reveal a pensive and powerful new single entitled “Sweet Tumbleweed,” available via Warner Records.
The track nods to their love of blending classic rock and country into their songcraft with its downright vivid storytelling and dynamic instrumentation. Plaintive piano cuts through acoustic guitar, and frontman Pecos Hurley draws listeners into the moment, “She leaves her boots out by the front door to let me know she needs a change of scene.” Grasping onto what’s left of the relationship before it slips away, his robust vocals take hold on the hook, “I don’t say goodbye when it comes time to let her go. I’ll catch you down the road sweet tumbleweed.”
Continuing a prolific run for the group, it arrives as the follow-up “Missing Peace.” The latter has already generated over 800 thousand streams.
“Missing Peace” landed in the wake of “One Drunk Summer,” which notably marked the group’s first release since their self-titled debut album, Pecos & The Rooftops, in 2023. Right out of the gate, it amassed over two million total streams and counting. Right now, Pecos & The Rooftops are in the midst of a string of headline dates and festival appearances.
Last year, Pecos & The Rooftops accelerated their rise with the release of their debut LP. It houses signature staples such as “5 AM,” “Hurt No More,” “Last Thing I Remember,” “Bricks,” and “She Says.” Beyond generating nearly a quarter of a billion streams, it has earned critical applause.
Pecos & The Rooftops have been perfecting a signature heavy blend of lowdown country and classic rock since their inception with the band living in a big five-bedroom house in Lubbock, Texas. Formed in 2019 by a tight-knit squad of college friends, the band outfits their soulful Americana with muscular guitar grit, yet remains tuneful and melodic. They’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 “5 AM,” which has amassed over 29 million global streams to date. 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).
Pecos & The Rooftops chose their name—a nod to the part of the house they’d hang out, drink beers, and jam on—just before self-releasing their debut single, 2019’s slow-burning “This Damn Song.” It was a runaway success, earning an RIAA platinum certification and going on to rack up more than 440 million streams globally. Deciding to ride the wave for as long as they could, the band hit the road immediately after and haven’t stopped since, touring relentlessly on the club and festival circuit opening for the likes of country star Koe Wetzel. They released the Red Eye EP in 2020, expanding on their already solid sound with extra emphasis on guitar structures and complex yet melodic arrangements, hinting at jazz and psychedelic influences.
Pecos & The Rooftops have earned a devoted fan base who’ve come out to support them both online and, on the road, with the band garnering over 680 million global streams to date and more than 170 million video views. They’re currently on a nationwide headline tour with more dates to be announced soon.
