A story of love and of groups like Travis, the Kooks…

An internet rock series produced for Warner Bros. Television available on Video Party
The decor of this internet series produced for Warner Bros. Television by Josh Schwartz (creator of Gossip Girl, Chuck and Newport Beach) and Alexandra Patsavas (Musical adviser for the Gossip Girl and Grey’s Anatomy series and the Twilight saga...) is a rock concert venue in Los Angeles...

The two producers have brought together 20 groups from the Anglo-Saxon pop music scene to create the backdrop for the series. So, in each episode, one of the groups performs two of its best tracks live. Travis, The Kooks, Kaiser Chiefs, Eagles of Death Metal, Passion Pit, Lykke Li... are all on stage at Rockville.

The plot: a love story set against a background of rock music!
Rockville is the leading club on the Los Angeles pop music scene. People can’t get enough of going there to see their favourite groups. Deb works for a record label and goes there to scout for talent... Hunter, editor for a rock music site, is a frequent visitor. Will their passion for music turn into something more... rock ‘n roll?
