We had a great year so far with fine releases from HOMER (politics of make believe CD/LP), FACE TOMORROW (acoustic ltd ed seven inch) and the recently released MUSTH/RAIN split seven inch. And there's lots more coming up for all you musiclovers. In this newsletter you get an update about the upcoming releases and planned funtime shows... Here we go! :: UPCOMING FUNTIME RECORDS RELEASES :: THE ROCKET 'Not everyone grows up to be an astronaut' format : CD fun.prod.2012.75.04 - Barcode : 3337871322694 Official Release date : 20 october The Rocket has faced a lot of line up shizzle since the release of their former ep . Half of the band decided to head for new horizons and the other half of the band took a fresh dive in new waters. More motivated than ever and eager to deliver the best record so far. In our humble opinion they managed to pull this of with grandeur. The new The Rocket album is packed with anthemic popsongs with a punkrock angle.... A great focus on 'the song' as a work of art and the use of splendid chorusses and harmonies in combination with the vocal range of the new lead singer makes this new shiny disc a real must have for all poppunk and college rock fans ... Somewhere inbetween the legendary 'blue album' of Weezer and the later work of Hollands' finest punkband Undeclinable Ambuscade, there's a spaceship transporting a massive bunch of music...and guess what the astronauts listen to? The Rocket! You got that right, baby! They are back with a bang and hell yeah we are more than ready to sing along!!! For fans of : Undeclinable Ambuscade, Weezer, Motion City Soundtrack, Get Up Kids, New Found Glory, Nada Surf... facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/therocketbe CD release party: 28 sep, Sojo, Kessel-Lo (Leuven) - (with Face the Fax and more)
