Rocket have announced their debut album: R Is for Rocket drops on October 3 via Transgressive Records/Canvasback. It features the alt-rock band’s excellent 2025 singles ‘One Million’ and ‘Crossing Fingers’, and another explosive track, ‘Wide Awake’, is out today. Check it out below, and scroll down for the record’s cover art and tracklist.
“R is for Rocket is about relationships, the most important part of life; relationships with your friends, your parents, your girlfriend or boyfriend, and most importantly your relationship with yourself,” the band shared. “‘Wide Awake’. is the perfect balance of all the elements of this record, after years in the making and countless versions, we’re excited to finally share it.”
Rocket released their Versions of You EP in 2023. By the time they started working on the album in early 2024, they’d been on a relentless touring schedule, opening for the likes of Ride, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Silversun Pickups. “All of the touring led to the songs changing for the better, because we got to play them for so many different kinds of audiences and hear what worked and what didn’t,” singer/bassist Alithea Tuttle said.
Guitarist Desi Scaglione, who helmed the album’s production, added, “Recording the second half of the album eight months after the first half gave us a lot of time to think about what we were doing. We ended up re-recording three songs because we felt like we could just do better.”
