Rocket, our latest CoSign, emerged in late 2023 with a supremely confident debut EP, featuring massive hooks and a whole lot of volume. Now, after cutting their teeth on tour opening for a variety of seasoned rock bands, the Los Angeles quartet have offered their official debut album, and it’s a blast. It can be hard to classify their sound, but in my humble opinion, Rocket are a straight-up rock and roll band. They play music with a visceral amount of energy and a restless, communal sonic language.
When they go for the outright rippers, like “One Million,” they sound enormous — but it’s the dreamier cuts, like “Another Second Chance,” that demonstrate their dynamism and willingness to muddy up the waters. As far as debut albums go, very few are as confident and sticky as “R Is for Rocket”.
