Rocket Scientists was formed in the late 1980s by keyboardist Erik Norlander and vocalist / guitarist Mark McCrite. The two released their first CD, "Earthbound", in 1993 joined by then - session bassist Don Schiff. Schiff quickly became a part of the band for their second release in 1995, "Brutal Architecture", and the three toured in the US and Europe in 1997 culminating in the live CD, "Earth Below and Sky Above: Live in Europe and America". In 1999, Rocket Scientists released "Oblivion Days", raising the bar on already high expectations. At the turn of the century, Norlander, Schiff and McCrite all worked on solo projects in addition to backing symphonic rock vocal icon Lana Lane on several tours around the world. After an eight year hiatus, Rocket Scientists released its fourth studio album "Revolution Road" in 2006 to high accolades from the press and fans worldwide. In January 2008, Rocket Scientists released their first box set entitled "Looking Backward", a 5-disc collection containing remastered versions of their first three studio albums, "Earthbound", "Brutal Architecture" and "Oblivion Days", along with a 4th audio CD of new recordings of classic Rocket Scientists songs reinterpreted by the band in 2007. The 5th disc is a DVD-9 containing video of the 2007 sessions along with extensive interviews and historical archive footage from sessions going back to 1993. The band has posted videos from "Looking Backward" on their YouTube channel at youtube.com/rocketscientists. Rocket Scientists have been touring internationally throughout 2008 and continuing on in 2009 joined by guest vocalist Lana Lane along with guitarist Jim Williams and drummer Chris Quirarte.
"The band incorporates elements of jazz, rock, fusion and experimental touches which make the complete prog-rock experience a high-caliber one." - Hard Rock Haven
"Lyrically, Rocket Scientists paint vivid images of other worlds — and better worlds.... allowing Rocket Scientists to preserve its roots and stretch its boundaries at the same time." - Sea of Tranquility
"As you would expect from the individuals involved, the musicianship is formidable and the performances sheer class in every case." - Fireworks, UK
