Rocket
Rocket are a Los Angeles guitar band formed in 2021 by longtime friends Alithea Tuttle, Desi Scaglione, Baron Rinzler, and Cooper Ladomade. The band emerged from a small practice-space setting with songs that leaned into fuzzy guitars, melodic bass lines, driving drums, and vocals that soften the edges of their louder, noisier arrangements. Their 2023 EP Versions of You introduced a sound tied to 1990s alternative rock, shoegaze, grunge, and pop-punk immediacy, while the 2025 debut album R is for Rocket expanded that framework into a fuller, more confident statement. Tracks such as "Sugarcoated," "Take Your Aim," "One Million," and "Crossing Fingers" show the band's balance of distortion, sweetness, momentum, and emotional lift. Rocket are not a retro exercise, even though the reference points are clear; their music works by filtering familiar guitar-band textures through a young, tightly bonded lineup focused on concise songs and big dynamic hooks.
