"The music of Rocket
is what you get when '60s girl groups, Bomp! Records powerpop, and Chapman/Chinn bubblegum glam collide under the California
sun. Ebullient, sugar-sweet, crunchy, and punchy." -- Now Wave

Rocket - Girls With Candy Hearts EP
$10/$12 non-US (includes shipping)
Released: 2006
Nearly
two years after stealing the show with the sunburned sugarpop of their debut album Too Hot To Be Bothered, Southern California’s
reigning princesses of summertime party brattiness return with Girls With Candy Hearts, a brand new E.P. featuring seven more
slices of deliciously bright ‘n’ tight tunes guaranteed to jam the jukebox. Iggy Pop, The Ramones, Nick Gilder,
and punk screen sirens The Fabulous Stains are all lucky enough to receive the royal Rocket treatment this time: All fuzz
‘n’ buzz and junk shop pop production. The E.P. also contains a newly-penned pair of powerpop gems in “Not
That Kind Of Girl“ and “Breakup Season,” plus the group-composed “Guitar Center Love Song,”
a sweet and sour ballad that sounds like the runaway teenage daughter of Pet Sounds and the Pooh Sticks. When you think of
Rocket, think of driving along an L.A. beach in an open-top, bright pink Cadillac. Rocket is a revolutionary concoction of
fun, smiles, candy, bubblegum, and beating hearts. Coquettishness-meets-bombast, kittens-meet-rattlesnakes; Rocket is the
launching pad for a new generation of pop flounce. The all-girl band mixes 60's girl group innocence with ‘70s decibel-damaging
boulevard beat and ‘80s glam wham swagger, a volatile combination that leaves one wondering what the results would be
if the Shangri-La’s crash landed onstage at the Starwood during an early Motley Crue gig.
Younger, louder, and snottier…ROCKET are this generation’s children of the revolution.
