THE ROCKET II
MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE REVIEW
Our highest score so far in 2001 goes to this trio, whose demo showcases the evocative vocal allure of Rachel Pollack. Her impressive voice (reminiscent of Sinead O'Connor and Alanis Morissette, sans histronics) blends perfectly with the rich tapestry that this skilled band creates. Avoiding gimmickry, the CD's crystalline production quality simply allows each song's luxurious melody to reach full-flower. Although the three songs we demo'd do not seem out-and-out hit singles, the band's polished KCRW-ready sound is downright compelling. PRODUCTION 9 LYRICS 8 MUSIC 8 VOCALS 8 MUSICIANSHIP 8 TOTAL SCORE 8.2

GREAT MUSIC IS TIMELESS. THE CLOCK STOPS HERE.
TURING TEST AAA RADIO STATION, MP3.COM
ROCKETBOB has got to be the best kept secret on mp3. Everything about this group speaks professionalism. You won't believe your getting this for free.
Femme Fetale Station, MP3
I've had a hard time trying to pin down RocketBob's influences- the truth is I find them incomparable. Maybe a hint of Cranberries....The vocals on this cut are just beautiful. We hope to hear more from RocketBob!
JEREMIAHS POP40 Station, MP3.COM
I am listening to your music in MP3.com right now. I found you by clicking on Turing Test's "Featured Artist" on their station. I've been pretty captivated by Rachel's voice, not to mention the production in general is very good. I hope you are meeting with success in your musical endeavors- I don't see (hear!) how other people wouldn't love your music as well!
JERAMIAH, MP3.COM
Your band inspired me to create a new station. When I heard Rachel sing I new I had to do it. Thanks for making THE MATRIX a success and thanks in advance for making FEMME FATALE a success.
