Artist description Skyrocket are a New York based 5 piece band who have become extremely popular in their short ten months of existance. Skyrockets' sound is difficult to describe but its somewhere between electronica and rock/pop. Any line-up with a live DJ (with beats and keys included), an array of strange guitar sounds and a soloist trumpet/keyboard player are going to turn heads. Thats exactly what they have been doing on New Yorks downtown circuit and consequently draw their very own enthusiastic following. Sharp, poignant, intelligent songs loaded with catchy pop hooks is what to expect - and you'll get it!

Music Style rock with electronic influence

Musical Influences tom waites, led zeppelin, the clash, ac/dc, van morrison, hip hop
