About Me

Rockesh is a collective effort of Brendan (guitar.vocals), Evan (drums), Sam (bass). The music created by this band is something new, something fresh, and something that needs to be heard. Blending the best aspects of rock musics historic past, with the new wave of creativity that has recently emerged in the industry. They have already released their first album, Summer of Love, through an independent record label (Beat Oven Records), and a video soon followed for the crowd favorite, "I Wish I Believed". Time Warner took interest in the video and now uses it as an advertisement for Time Warner Cable. They are currently writing and performing regularly and a new EP will be released in the fall or winter of 2007. Thanks for supporting the local music, it means the world to all those bands out there. ..

Sounds Like: "Good, hearty rock, this. Interesting punk undertone as well, for me. Pardon the pun. It works well and ramps up nicely to dramatic places, before giving you a slight breather. But not for long. Reminds me of Joy Division, Kravitz, The White Stripes and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. In one sentence man, Splendid rock with a bit of punk floating in it." The Living Athiest, UK.
