Picture yourself in an old abandoned theme park. The rollercoaster is dilapidated, the merry go round a collection of twisted metal and cobwebs. The big top still stands, although shabby and dirty, in the middle of the park. Suddenly, the old tent lights up and strange music booms from the inside, cutting through the humid night air. A constant, throbbing beat grows faster as you run towards the thin streak of light shining from the entrance. The music seems to encompass everything around you; the decaying carnival, the deep night and the long grass brushing past your legs. There is no hint of danger as you burst through the tent flap and into the bright surrounds of the Big Top’s interior. Standing on a stage in front of you are five young men with cheeky grins and a sound like no other... they are Rocketsmiths.

Brisbane’s Rocketsmiths are one of the best and most original bands in the Australian music scene at the moment and recent times have proven why. Their new EP “Parts, Pieces” (MGM) produced and recorded by ARIA award-winning producer Magoo (Regurgitator, Operator Please, End Of Fashion) has received critical praise and JJJ rotation for first single “The Boy Who Cried Misery”. Their energetic, tight live show has fans unable to contain their excitement and has seen the band sell out The Zoo and be booked for major supports and festival appearances.

“...their rock tunes into a different stratosphere from every other four-chord ensemble.” - Clem Bastow – Beat Magazine

“Rocketsmiths play rabble-rousing country punk at a break-neck speed. They careen through songs with a joyful kind of chaos, invoking outlaw twang through lo-fi garage rock with impulsive little spasms littering their madcap landscape. Think Dropkick Murphys by way of B52s and the Living End. Good times, rock and roll, etc.” - Simone Ubaldi – Inpress Magazine

“Fun, distorted vocals and pure pop…This is a tops song and one you want to sing along to.” - Zan Rowe - Triple J

“These boys looked like they were about to explode from the amount of fun they were having onstage, and each song just got louder and faster and crazier. They stole the show for the night… The songs were all catchy and captivating and all these wonderful things that make it impossible to tear your eyes away for a second..” - Fasterlouder.com.au
