“My heart’s stuck to a rocket/on and on nothing’s gonna stop it” sing Pacific Northwest band Sun Spots on their awesomely catchy new single ‘Rocket’. They fire off an exultant punky power-punk anthem rife with fizzy riffs, besotted melodies, that light the fuse and shoot into the sky. Really catchy and totally ace and bursting with uplifting hooks, it reminds you of the early 90s Seattle sound but with a shiny coating, think Breeders or Belly but with a current sensibility. It’s the lead single from the band’s upcoming second EP, “Dog is Calling“, out now on Seattle indie label Den Tapes.
Featuring members of a handful of Seattle-area hardcore and punk bands, Sun Spots new EP was mastered by Greg Obis (MJ Lenderman, Wishy, Tim Heidecker, Snooper) and features four upbeat, driving tracks with bright, buoyant vocals anchored by thick, crunchy riffs.
It comes as a follow-up to the band’s 2022 “Loosey” EP and a handful of shows up and down the west coast, which saw them sharing stages with acts like Enumclaw, GUV, and TV Star.
