Buy Rockets and Bluelights Music

Rockets and Bluelights’ explosive but atmospheric, sensitive yet abrasive, instrumentally driven and thoroughly dynamic music springs from hardcore and punk intentions, strained through a fervent necessity for unity and the absolute force that resides within it. Remember the way your eyes were forced to close as your head bent toward an incredible, powerful musical climax, and re-imagine this spouted from four incredibly talented individuals turning twinkling guitar lines around solid rhythms, preparing you more at every moment to be contentedly battered. Lying just below the rumbling instrumentation, sparse screams and whispers add a hint of anxiety, release, or additional tension, and the minimalist lyrical style heightens the impact of chosen words.

These four musicians have grown musically inside each other’s heads over the years, periodically shredding musical paths which all led to the final base expression of their collective whole in Rockets and Bluelights. Though their Smashed City EP is the first record the band has not released themselves, its four tracks belie a band with inherent and unmistakable knowledge of where they are headed and what they want to give to you.
