"Rockin' Rocks" comes off Vulture Street, Powderfinger's fifth album, from 2003, a record named for a well-known street on Brisbane's inner south side, in the city where every one of them grew up. The writing is credited to the band as a whole, and some critics called the album "a rawer, louder, but by no means unrefined" record.

Nick DiDia produced it with Tony Reyes and engineered it himself, with Anton Hagop and Catherine Claire lending a hand, and Brendan O'Brien mixed. It wasn't one of the singles, but the album around it went to number one in Australia and took the 2003 ARIA Award for Best Rock Album.
