Rooftop Screamers – Forsaken ft Stephen McSwain(Music Video)

Portland’s own Rooftop Screamers, the creative brainchild of Mike Collins, returns with the powerful new video “Forsaken” featuring the commanding vocals of Stephen McSwain. Blending introspective lyricism with soaring rock energy, the track is a gripping reflection on loss, faith, and redemption, all wrapped in Rooftop Screamers’ signature blend of classic power pop and modern rock production.

A lifelong drummer turned songwriter and producer, Collins created Rooftop Screamers as a studio project that thrives on collaboration. Each release brings together a mix of local Portland talent and internationally acclaimed artists, creating a dynamic, evolving sound that pays homage to his heroes – David Bowie, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jeff Lynne, and Steven Wilson.

“Forsaken” is both cinematic and intimate, showcasing Rooftop Screamers’ knack for crafting emotionally rich, sonically layered rock that resonates far beyond genre lines. The video mirrors this intensity, pairing the song’s heartfelt performance with visuals that evoke the feeling of isolation and transcendence, a journey from despair to catharsis.

After earning acclaim with their 2021 album Next Level, featured on Sirius XM’s Little Steven’s Underground Garage and championed by tastemaker Rodney Bingenheimer, Rooftop Screamers continues to rise as one of the most innovative rock collaborations out of the Pacific Northwest.

With Forsaken, Mike Collins once again proves that Rooftop Screamers isn’t just a project, it’s a movement of musical connection, creativity, and timeless rock spirit.
