To name a few.
Sounds Like
How to Build a Rocketship - Radiohead meets Beatles meets Pink Floyd. Okay, I just dropped some rather large names, but these guys had a wealth of talent, and put on some really impressive live shows during their short and underappreciated stint in the Old Pueblo. --Don Jennings(Host of Locals Only, KXCI Radio)++++++++++The two bass players, one gutarist and a ferocious drummer build intense, feedback-laden jams. -The Arizona Daily Star++++++++++
Like David Bowie being gang-raped by Radiohead in the Sonoran Desert--Steve Seigel(Music Editor, Tucson Weekly)++++++++++Often compared to Radiohead, and thus Pink Floyd, the band found a nice niche somewhere between those two with a healthy dose of glam-era Bowie and modern-day indie rock riffage tossed into the mix. Their live shows were often hit-or-miss, but when they were on, Rocketship could be truly transcendent. Last year's(ED-this was from 2000) self-released Thank You Easter Bunny is one of the best local releases of the last couple years. Check it out. --Steve Seigel(Music Editor, Tucson Weekly)+++++++++++Great dramatic, emotional rock - like the best of Radiohead or recent Smashing Pumpkins--CD Baby

I accidentally ran into Thank You Easter Bunny about 8 years ago. It's long stood as one of my favorite rock albums... poetic, transporting. It built this world unto itself, like a private journal of confessions and recollections kept by a 1950's father undergoing a midlife crisis. Wonderfully crafted piece of melancholy. Thanks for the nights I spent singing till my throat was hoarse, flying down an empty highway at unreasonable speeds.
