Maybe you have already heard of them, they made an OP for Ao no exorcist and Durarara!!, also an ending for Bleach.
On 2012.7.25 they'll be releasing their first full album [From Dusk Till Dawn]!

love this band, first heard of the song In My World from Ao no Exorcist after that I can't stop listening to them.

These guys rock \m/

Complication has to be one of the best modern rock/pop songs going around.
Best balance between Rap and Rock i've heard in a song :D

I didn't expectet to see durarara again now, I hope the song is good. I find the cover too plain, but I don't care as long as the content rocks.

Heard these guys from Durarara!! too. "Complication" was a good OP (I preferred "Uragiri No Yuuyake", though). But I really liked their two other songs "eggmate of the year" and "DROP" (from the DRRROOKIEZ!! album). And they sound awesome when playing live, as well. Hope to hear more stuff from them in years to come. \m/

Spoiler:

my album finally arrived 2 days ago! (it came with LiSA's crossing field that's why it took so long.)
It's simply awesome. There's not a single bad track on this album! Although I'm no drummer I'm really impressed with the drums, I knew U was epic [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I was a bit sceptic about the new version of complication, but it's great. The drum patterns are much better and Shinnosuke vocals improved much! My favorites (from the new songs) so far are: self conversation, Reason, California Ninja, screaming against the xxxxxxx and over the rainbow
Overall an awesome first album! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Speaking of which anybody here goin to Fanime to see them live?

ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D rocks!! .hora.

I'm going to Fanime. I'm more interested in 7!!, and I've only heard Complication from ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D. Still, I look forward to hearing more from them, and maybe I'll end up liking it!

@~HaruHaru~:
I'll be wearing a black SCANDAL Best Xmas 4 T-shirt, hopefully standing near the front. Feel free to come introduce yourself. Always good to meet more SCANDAL fans!

@ GeoFreak
I was hoping to go but I'm actually busy that day. Too bad the musicfest only happens on Saturday. It would be nice to meet more jrock/jpop fans as well. Well hope you enjoy the concert! BTW Complication is my favorite song from them!

Their coolness and skill in music is inhuman...imagine a guy who plays the lead guitar while singing...then raps...totally inhuman

@Rencast_Guilty
i agree its hard enough to play rhythm guitar while singing but this guy, he can rap/sing while playing arpeggios! .wtf.

It was a great show! They really know how to fire up the crowd, lots of call-and-response stuff and headbanging. There were also a lot of Durarara fans who got really excited for the songs they did for the show and other tie-ins.
