Rocket from the Crypt

Pledging never to enjoy a venue using a stage, singer/guitarist John Reis shaped San Diego’s Rocket through the Crypt in the summertime of 1990 after getting disillusioned along with his then-current hardcore punk music group, Pitchfork. Bassist Petey X, guitarist N.D., drummer Sean, and support vocalist Elaina became a member of the band’s preliminary lineup, and Rocket through the Crypt released Color as a Scent in 1991. As the debut elevated the band’s profile, a lineup modification ensued as Sean and Elaina still left the NORTH PARK region. Adam “Atom” Willard climbed aboard as the band’s brand-new drummer, and among Reis’ taking in buddies, Paul “Apollo 9” O’Beirne, became a member of as saxophonist. After 1992’s Circa: Today! premiered on Cargo Information and experienced a great deal of underground achievement, a major-label bidding battle broke out, leading to Rocket through the Crypt’s decision to become listed on Interscope Information. Interscope after that re-released Circa: Today! in 1993, as well as the one “Ditch Digger” spent time in MTV’s Hype Bin. Ultimately, a 6th member — saxophonist Jason “JC 2000″ Crane — was added, as well as the music group moved onward like a punky, horn-influenced clothing, liberating the 10” record The Condition of Art Is usually burning in 1995. Rocket from your Crypt issued a complete of three information that year, like the limited-edition Warm Charity LP as well as the band’s many acclaimed recording to day, Scream, Dracula, Scream. The recording spawned three singles, like the worldwide hit “On the Rope,” which endeared Rocket from your Crypt to English audiences. RFTC adopted in 1998, and Group Seems was issued around the band’s fresh label, Vagrant, in early 2001. Rocket from your Crypt became a rock and roll & move machine through the entire early 2000s, their garage area punk design as new as those following a punk revival pattern. The members steadily began pursuing specific side projects, nevertheless, and 2002’s Live from Camp X-Ray experienced appropriately, as the bandmates’ alternative commitments avoided them from starting a highly effective tour. 3 years later on, Rocket from your Crypt disbanded after playing a farewell display on Oct 31, 2005. Vagrant recorded the hometown gig by liberating the live recording R.We.P. in Feb 2008. In 2013, Rocket through the Crypt reunited for a small number of live shows, and also have continued to try out sometimes since. In 2015, Reis and his Swami label resurrected a long-lost task where RFTC documented a collaborative record with Sonny Vincent from the influential NY punk music group the Testors. Constructed from abandoned periods documented in 2003, Classic Piss premiered in Apr 2015.
