About us


BIOG:

“like a rock concert on the Klangers planet, before surging into an amped up, wiry rebirth of the same demonic soul that drove Young Knives to wear Victorian casual wear and (probably) smoke pipes in the comfort of their red velvet coated den, But with a more muscular physique - keep the name on your lips, I have a feeling you’ll be using it more frequently in the near future!”
Subba-Culture (Single Of The Week)

"LR Rockets put on a tasty nu-rave indie spread which draws in a lot of youngsters. Live fans are transfixed by their colours and the vocalist’s crazy legs. Remember, remember the 5th of November – their single 'Personality' is available then and the video is one to watch!"
THE SUN

"The rockets are back with new single 'Personality'. It's not out for another month but I could not resist playing it and don't worry as more play of this record on this show is to come"
John Kennedy XFM

"We like glam-punk types LR Rockets 'Personality' so much we asked them to crash land in and play live for our November Podcast. Go download it now from the-fly.co.uk/podcast its belting"
THE FLY

"A perfect slice of riff heavy rock n roll from East London's favourites. LR Rockets are not afraid to rip up the rule book, raid their favourite Jonathan Richmond and Devo tunes, and mix it up with their own mix of what it takes to get people dancing"
ARTROCKER MAGAZINE

“A belching brace of brazenly barnstorming boot banging boogie from London based quartet the LR Rockets that should suitably see to it that the hi-fi is in equal measures trounced, terrified and trashed. ’Personality’ is one bad assed b*****d of toxic tastiness, totally unhinged and wickedly wired - an acutely angular New York Dolls if you like shagging the hell out of the riff from the Jam’s ’when you’re young’ and launching off at the deep end in to a frantic action painting montage of thunderous riot laden grind peppered with a maddeningly schizoid throb that’s braided with more needled hooks than a Thailand sweat shop. ‘pincer movement’ over on the flip is more of the same only with the fraught, frantic and frenetic dials all cranked up to meltdown, distressed pop for the damaged”
Losing Today

“Personality is a nice concoction of beats and riffs that ever so subtly get you in the mood for dancing” “It feels familiar yet exciting and new, which is really quite a fine quality to possess at this stage in the life of the LR Rockets, and it seems that this may well be just the beginning - everyone, prepare for blast off”
