About The Thrives {{Full length LP out this December}}
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!

alright, so people always say happy hump day for Wednesdays. I think its just as strange to say happy Uphill on Tuesdays, or happy Downhill on Thursdays, but i've never ever seen or heard anyone wish that. -Brandon
you want me to check out your music? well let's make it official! me and the crew have a podcast strictly for underground artists. we'll play your song on our show for all of our listeners, and give our opinions and ideas on it. we'll read a bio for you so the world can get to know you a bit and we'll even shout out if you got a tour coming up or an album or ep dropping soon and let people know where to find you or where they can watch you perform. it's a comedy/critique show that will give you exposure and promo your projects. hit me back if you are interested.
