Rockets & Bluelights 10"

The picture above is an aerial view of Albany.

I went to school there, had the most incredible experiences of my life there, still kinda live there, Met the most amazing and influential people there, and learned more about myself than I ever could have possibly done on Staten Island. So I have to post this.

As I'm posting this I'm worrying that I won't be able to express in words how much I really do love this. This is the best band ever to come out of Albany hands down.

I started school fall of 2006, Just when they had stopped playing shows. It's so awesome that almost everyone in Albany, regardless of petty scene affiliation - loves this band. A lot of people I've spoken to describe seeing them live as positively cathartic. They might still have a copy of this 10" at last vestige, if not redder records has copies for sale online. There's a demo with 4 more songs, and a discography with all their songs and additional instrumentally magnificent jams. Both of which are impossible to find.

Sean and I are pretty sure we heard them jamming one night at Scarlet East, and it was fucking breathtaking. The door was closed and they were jamming out for like 15 minutes straight of well-coordinated brilliance. We were too shy to knock on the door 0_o

This band was the catalyst that opened the door to so many avenues of self discovery. This was the reason I picked up a guitar. This was the reason I did a lot of things. I am so glad that these wonderful people decided to make music. I am so glad I own this on vinyl. Perfection.




For fans of enjoying/appreciating life.




This band made me a better person.
