There are plenty of bands right now that sound plucked out of the '90s, but Rocket are one of the best doing it. The Los Angeles band is even getting ready to open for Smashing Pumpkins in the UK this summer. Earlier this year they signed to Transgressive Records/Canvasback and unveiled "Take Your Aim," and today they're sharing the great new song "One Million."
“‘One Million’ is about wanting someone to meet you halfway but not knowing if they ever will,” the group explains. “It’s the feeling of doing everything you can, going above and beyond for someone, knowing that you would wait a million years for them just to notice how important they are to you. It’s the hoping that maybe you are as important to them as well. It’s learning to be okay with the fact that you might always love them more.”
Along with the release, Rocket are announcing headline US tour dates for this fall. Check those below alongside the new tune.
