Biography
The western territory of Texas is not especially renowned as a musical breeding ground, but The Rocketboys, having spent the first years of their career in the unassuming town of Abilene, created an anthemic, ambient sound that matched the expansive landscape in which they lived. Composed of six guys who met in college, The Rocketboys formed in late 2005 and over the next three years somehow found time to record and release two E.P.'s and two live DVD's, embark on multiple national and regional tours, and amass a substantial fanbase in their home state of Texas while finishing their degrees.
At the onset of 2009, The Rocketboys are taking steps to pursue their love of creating and performing music in more professional ways. Residing now in Austin, TX, the band is writing their first full-length album, with which they hope to reach a new level of musicianship and artistic creativity. Keep an eye out for the new album "20000 Ghosts" to be released in the fall of 2009. Also, stay up to date with The Rocketboys on myspace, facebook, and virb for an upcoming show in a city near you!
Finally, you can purchase all music by The Rocketboys on itunes, amazon, myspace, or at live shows.
Press
"Building gray-hued swells of chorused guitar and minor-key piano processionals, the Rocketboys may have a sound as wide as the West Texas skies, but they’re decidedly overcast with clouds that perpetually threaten rain."
—The Onion, Austin
"The Rocketboys' sound is rife with shimmering ambience, reverberating piano, pinging guitars and lead singer Brandon Kinder's smooth yet soaring vocals, bringing a sound resembling other bittersweet and earnest acts such as Keane."
—The Oklahoma Gazette
"The Rocketboys showed a mastery of mood and subtlety. Amplifying a sound made familiar to Texas music fans by bands such as Cue and Explosions in the Sky, the six-member group adorns singer Brandon Kinder's soaring melodies with clear, ringing guitars and full-bodied keyboard arrangements, hard-driving drumlines and well-practiced transitions between calm and controlled chaos."
—The Austin American-Statesman
"The Rocketboys were musically educated ... now they’re gaining even more experience on the road, adding that much more to their music. It’s a wonder they aren’t signed, but maybe they like it that way."

hey guys, me and five of my friends are trying to go to the dallas show on friday night. two of them are under 18, not that you know the rules of every establishment, but could that be a problem? we're from ada oklahoma, and we're probably your gnarliest fans, so we'd love to check this show.
Yeah I showed you guys to a bunch of my friends when I heard your stuff; I'll try to get everyone out for it. Public Assembly is a pretty sweet venue. Are you guys sticking around NYC that night or are you not sure yet?
