Rocket - R Is For Rocket

R is for Rocket, the remarkable debut album from the quartet, is a joyride through sonic landscapes that are gloriously loud, anthemic, bombastic, and beautiful, with immediately captivating tracks that achieve the rare feat of evoking nostalgia while sounding completely new. The band’s gritty, fuzzed-out sound has its roots in ’90s guitar bands like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, but Rocket does something unique with these touchstones. It’s no wonder they are widely regarded as one of the most promising guitar-driven bands of their generation.
