Bad Choices
Rokets

Rokets are from Helsinki Finland who were formed in 2017.Rokets are renowned for their electric live shows around the Nordics and Baltic's. Their highly praised EP “Speed & Sound” released in 2019 on a limited vinyl pressing which sold out in double quick time. Rokets debut album “Fast Times” earned the band a record deal with The Sign Records a Swedish label who also helped with the release of their sophomore album. ”Break Free” which helped to reach a wider audience with the Rokets playing sold out shows & various festivals. With their 3rd album “Bad Choices” they have now signed with Svart Records to unleash their non nonsense unapologetic brand of rock n' roll!
The album starts full of rock n' roll energy with the title track “Bad Choices” fast paced full of crunchy guitar riffs,hard hitting drums,deep bass & vocals of authority from Sami Mustonen.”Shackles Without Chains” is a solid track which has swagger and confidence written all over it,”Overload” is that track at the festival which starts the mosh pit off,a fast paced track which is a mixture of Punk & Rock N' Roll laced with attitude vocally and musically. Another track which will 100% get the crowd going and those fists high in the air is “Louisa” which is another catchy fast paced track which is then followed by “White Raven” which is easily one of the standout tracks on the album,it's catchy,ear worm melodies and sing a long chorus is just infectious.”Law & Order” has loads of edgy ,crunchy addictive riffs ,backed up with solid rhythm and commanding vocals.”Wheels To Kill” is that track which demands to be turned up a notch at home played loud so the neighbours can hear what they are missing out on! or cruising down the motorway windows down or roof down turned up to the max! A great track full of energy,adrenaline and rock n' roll. ”Diamonds And Dust” another solid track with a groovy bass line, a little slower tempo than previous tracks but still hits hard,”Lights Out” is more guitars blazing,hard hitting rhythm,vocals with attitude ending the album with that knock out punch.
Wowsers! Think I'm going to have to lie down after listen to “Bad Choices”.That was the most energetic album I have listened to in ages,Clocking in at just over 30 minutes it's an adrenaline fuelled roller coaster ride full of attitude & raw rock n' roll which was a great listen to just turn up loud forget everything and just rock out!This is one album that you don't want to miss out on!Available now on CD,Vinyl from Svart Records and Digitally on Band Camp.
