(Band to) Watch Out For Rockets (srsly.)

Watch Out For Rockets kind of sounds like the name of some crappy “emo pop” band, like “Eye Alaska” or “We The Kings” – while I dono about their name, one thing’s for sure – they are not a crappy emo pop band. WOFR falls into that vein of stuff that’s awesome but that I have yet to perfectly describe. This band (somehow) aligns with the likes of Port O’Brien or Aunt Dracula, but at the same time they sound like Superdrag and the Beach Boys, or the Byrds or something. I really kinda dig it. Unfortunately the band hails from Austin so I probably won’t get to see ‘em anytime soon, and parts of this recording don’t sound so hot. If you live anywhere near there you should probably make a point to check ‘em out live and then tell me if they’re as good as I think they’d be.
