ROCKET FROM THE TOMBS was THE punk band from OHIO in the mid seventies.......members of the band went on to form THE DEAD BOYS and PERE UBU, which in their own right are classic punk bands.......
the band decided to reform more than 25 years after their demise, with the addition of richard lloyd from television to do a couple of tours......and to re-record their demos that never got a proper release during the bands first incarnation.......released as ROCKET REDUX in 2004...
ROCKET FROM THE TOMBS gigs occasionally and if you have the chance you gotta see them live..... this is no old fart reunion show.... RFTT is just as loud and raw as i imagine they sounded in the 70s......
part stooges and maybe the sonics and shit well they might just have invented what early american punk sounded like, so there's no point in comparing them to bands that were influenced by them........
ROCKET just played the empty bottle this week in chicago, and in case you missed it, you can watch below....... and if you don't have their ROCKET REDUX lp, click here to grab it..... pretty much essential.........
pretend you were there.......
