They’ve spread the word on their primal and fast rock’n’roll through the\u003cbr\u003econstant live shows around the Nordics and Baltic states since their establishment in 2017.\u003cbr\u003eRokets rose rapidly to the surface of international Action Rock circles when their highly\u003cbr\u003epraised EP Speed \u0026amp; Sound was released in 2019 on a limited vinyl pressing, which sold out\u003cbr\u003ein a heartbeat. The following debut album Fast Times was recorded in Stockholm at Robert\u003cbr\u003ePehrsson’s (Robert Pehrsson’s Humbucker, Dundertåget, Imperial State Electric, Death\u003cbr\u003eBreath) Studio Humbucker, pouring more gasoline in the flames and gaining the band a\u003cbr\u003erecord deal with The Sign Records. With the help of the Swedish label their sophomore\u003cbr\u003ealbum Break Free reached even further and beyond, with Rokets playing to sold out venues\u003cbr\u003eand festivals. Now the band has joined forces with Svart Records and are ready to spread\u003cbr\u003etheir wings and grab the world by its throat – beware!\u003cbr\u003e“The band’s founding member Jaani called me in 2017 and asked if I’d like to join a band\u003cbr\u003eplaying fast paced rock in the vein of The Hellacopters and such. Sounded like something to\u003cbr\u003egive a go at, even though I wasn’t all that much into rock’n’roll at the time, rather than some\u003cbr\u003egood ol’ heavy metal. Nevertheless, I’m very happy I did” comments the band’s vocalist\u003cbr\u003eSami, and continues:\u003cbr\u003e“In the beginning we had only a handful of songs and played some Motörhead and\u003cbr\u003eHurriganes covers on the side. Sakke, our guitarist, kept bringing new songs to every single\u003cbr\u003erehearsal so we got ready to do some live shows pretty soon after we started. Been down\u003cbr\u003ethat road ever since.”\u003cbr\u003eRokets have gone through some line up changes in the past, but the recent, already roadtested\u003cbr\u003egroup of jolly good fellows consist of Sami Mustonen (vocals), Sakke Väntinen\u003cbr\u003e(guitar), Elias Laurila (guitar), Lauri Lyytinen (bass), and Otto Bigler (drums). The members are\u003cbr\u003eknown from playing in more or less underground acts United Seafood, Green King, Tryer,\u003cbr\u003eRusty Triggers, Lazer Sleep, and Black Lizard. Each one has a distinct musical past ranging\u003cbr\u003efrom heavy metal to hardcore, which has shaped the music and sound of Rokets over the\u003cbr\u003eyears.\u003cbr\u003eBad Choices is a half an hour journey into the world of the band. The songs tell stories of\u003cbr\u003eanxiety, oppression, horror movies, the long arm of the law, possessive cats, last calls,\u003cbr\u003epredators, and the inevitable end. High flying solos, crushing riffs, exquisite guitar melodies,\u003cbr\u003eand striking choruses topped off with a rock-solid rhythm section will make sure there’s no\u003cbr\u003elack of speed or dangerous encounters on this trip.\u003cbr\u003eThe action-packed new album Bad Choices is available on Svart exclusive yellow\/black\u003cbr\u003emarble vinyl, limited transparent yellow vinyl, classic black vinyl, CD, and digital platforms\u003cbr\u003eon May 16th, 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53030872875305,"sku":"P-63104-","price":26.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Rokets-Bad-Choices-LP-COLORED-63104-1-1744395541.jpg?v=1778066079","url":"https:\/\/shopusa.season-of-mist.com\/products\/rokets-bad-choices-lp-colored","provider":"Season of Mist - North America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
