Taylor Locke is the lead guitarist of California’s Rooney. He’s also formed a new band with Chris Price (Price), Mikey McCormack (Everybody Else) and Charlotte Froom (The Like) called Taylor Locke and The Roughs. I was lucky enough to speak with Taylor (and we don’t even mention his famous ex-girlfriends) but we do talk about how the band got together and his relationship with Rooney frontman Robert Schwartzman and both new albums.

Great interview, Taylor!
