Sounds Like
Love lost and regained at a higher level in ever increasing cycles.
It's all rockets from the get-go, like sweet engines. Whirlwind and flash. Action and fury. It's shooting the rapids under a peaceful sky... like spinning round, letting go and somehow finding yourself centered. The music is melodic... and chaotic, hookey... quirky... and flexibly controlled. It's Indie all dressed up. Kemper writhes and squirms. John Bolling's easy cool underscores his melodic lines. Kevin Daboin is thunderous and adventurous behind the kit.
It's been some time since The Thrives Ep, All Rockets dropped on the Harrisburg, PA scene... the loving and loyal friends and fans have been screaming for new recordings. In 2009 they may just get their wish!
Hey Kemper and Co., How've you guys been? Sorry for losing touch. We've replaced two members since last summer, so it's been a crazy year. Good to see you guys are gigging. Hopefully our paths cross again soon.
