\n “The song itself is totally based on my childhood and growing up in the street and in Patna,” Jamie said.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The single cover is how Doonbank Crescent looked before it was knocked down.\n<\/p>\n
\n “My entire childhood, teenage years, right up until I was 24, was in this village until I moved away.\n<\/p>\n
\n “My mum Mary Rooney and the Rooney family still live in the village, my cousin Amanda is the headmistress at the local school St Xavier’s Primary, and I\u2019m the village regular; it\u2019s still where I class as home.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The group focuses on alternative rock, but enjoys creating songs that get people thinking, especially nostalgic tunes that remind people of their childhood and what is perceived to be a simpler time.\n<\/p>\n

\n Jamie wrote the new song three years ago, but has been sitting on it and waiting for the right time to release it.\n<\/p>\n
\n The group works alongside Gordy Goudie of Simple Minds, who\u2019s produced all their previous tracks.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I knew when I heard it it was special,” Jamie added.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The response to the song was massive from the local community, with 80,000 views over all social media platforms.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We are currently featured on Spotify’s new music main release radar, picked by the editor beside bands like the Rolling Stones, Zach Bryan, Kings of Leon, which is insane.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n “The song Nineteen 99 is dedicated to Gary Megraw and Nicola Miller (Mcindoe), Roslyn Thomson and Colin, who I grew up with in Patna and sadly passed away far too young.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This is for them.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ronains are a female-fronted alternative rock band mainly based in the city.
