About Me

"Kudos, congrats, and bravo to ModRocket, the undisputed champions of our very first Kickstart competition. Over the past four weeks, the youthful, all-female quartet's straightforward and powerful rock handily carried them to victory past the other six bands. Be sure to tune into MTV2's Subterranean on Feb. 3rd at 1 AM when ModRocket will be featured on good ol' real television."


New article on us -- http://www.grandlifenyc.com/music_feature.php
"As with everything, NYC needs its women, and there are plenty of amazing ladies in the house. New on the scene is Mod Rocket, a straight up alternative rock group of smart, teenage true blue ladies who formed the band when they were in junior high school. Alex, the guitarist and youngest member, recently won the Lower East Side guitar competition hosted by the bar Max Fish. The 16-year-old blew the crowd away with her skills and spirit."
