Melbourne’s Box Rockets exploded onto the scene back in 2009 with their debut EP ‘Throwing Stones’. Now they’re back with a brand new EP, ‘No Control’, due out in October. To celebrate its release they’ve lined up four special launch shows – two in Sydney and two in Melbourne!
After the launch of title track and single, ‘No Control’, to a packed house at the Grace Darling recently, the lads and lady that make up Box Rockets are keen to showcase the remaining tracks off their latest 4-track release, produced by Steven Schram (The Devastations, Little Red, The Vasco Era).
The EP will be available for purchase on iTunes from October 21, but you can get your hands on a limited edition copy with origami-inspired packaging at any of the EP launch shows.
“The EP cover unfolds like a cardboard flower – ingenious…..There’s pathos in those riffs that call to mind The Smiths [and] the mix is crystal clear. Put it in the diary, folks, Box Rockets EP launch, October 27th @ the Northcote Social Club” - Inpress
“They plant the hook with the opening line, ….then drag you along through a bubbling stream of verse and chorus, not one bit of melody wasted. Very catchy, very cute.” - Beat
Following the recent launch of single and title track ‘No Control’, Box Rockets produced their first ever video clip, which you can check out here – http://vimeo.com/28794502
