Today marks Rockets’ newest single, “One Million, the band’s first release since signing to Transgressive Records in February. The group hails from Los Angeles, California, and includes Alithea Tuttle (Vocals & Bass), Baron Rinzler (Guitar), Cooper Ladomade (Drums), and Desi Scaglione (Guitar). “One Million” is loud and in your face, displaying plenty of ’90s influences and their signature shoegaze spin.
The band speaks to the singles’ intention on Sterogum, saying that “’One Million’ is about wanting someone to meet you halfway but not knowing if they ever will,” the group explains. “It’s the feeling of doing everything you can, going above and beyond for someone, knowing that you would wait a million years for them just to notice how important they are to you. It’s the hoping that maybe you are as important to them as well. It’s learning to be okay with the fact that you might always love them more.”
Alongside the release, Rocket announced their newest tour in the US, which is expected to begin this fall. The group also plans to tour the UK this summer, opening for both the Smashing Pumpkins and Mannequin Pussy. I had the opportunity to see them in Boulder last month and would highly recommend checking out their sound.
