Since 2004, RED ROCKET has been revolutionizing the West Philly underground. Not since Ziggy Stardust and Kill Yr Idols have songs been written with such enigmatic beauty and screaming noise. On their recent album "Folktales," RED ROCKET shatters all stereotypes by pushing forward a sound so diverse and innovative that it turns the heads of even the most jaded music critics. Combining a forceful rhythm section with delicate melodies and power electronics, RED ROCKET produces the music of tomorrow, full of experimental enchantment and raw, savage thrash. They have created a brand new sound that has never been heard before and could never be re-created again. They dynamize, galvanize and jolt audiences with their unparalleled, kick-ass live show – even sending a New York college kid into spasms and seizures! RED ROCKET has been touring into eternity since joining Tonearm Records (Man Man / Plastic Little) in late 2006. They have also been running Philly's best underground shows at their award winning Danger! Danger! House since 2005.
the French Canadians said it best:
Back in the space dream, once I've landed on the planet, I wander into this city of grey quartz buildings where the inhabitants are translucent jellyfish that float around the cavernous streets. A dull thunder rolls in the distance. That's when I call in the heavy artillery. Post-haste, post-rock. - Pop Montreal
