Freeman calls All Set The Bone a “reflection of a lot of change, and a lot of tension.” It’s a box of political and personal yarns spread across four sides, “inhuman events” and grief pulled into a “perfect tsunami.” While writing and recording it, Freeman moved out of his longtime home in Bu...

  Rocket have announced their highly anticipated debut album, R is for Rocket , due out Oct 3rd .  Lead single “ Wide Awake ” is a jagged, fuzzed-out introduction to the band’s leveled up sound, balanced out by vocalist Alithea Tuttle ’s sweetly hypnotic vocals. R is for Rocket , the quartet’s remarkable debut album, is a joyride through sonic terrain that is gloriously loud, anthemic, bombastic and beautiful, with instantly captivating songs that achieve the rare feat of evoking nostalgia while sounding completely new. The band’s jagged, fuzzed-out sound has antecedents in ‘90s guitar bands like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, but Rocket are doing something uniquely their own with those touchstones. It’s no wonder they are widely considered one of the most promising guitar-forward bands of their generation. While the album builds on the energy of their critically lauded Versions of You EP, R is for Rocket is also hugely evolutionary, elevating the band’s craft in majo...

In Greg's words, "I was trying to look up lists of 'obscure expressions,' as in like weird old phrases or proverbs.The first thing that came up was 'Gallic Shrug,' a kind of niche physical expression, usually associated with French people–to convey indifference or lack of responsibility. I couldn't get that image out of my head. It's a very personal song revolving around this very heartbreaking gesture." Listen to Gallic Shrug Watch Gallic Shrug Visualizer  Pre- Order Burnover

Rocket are back with the release of their third single of the year " Crossing Fingers ," yet again leveling up their already kinetic sound.  In the band's words, “‘Crossing Fingers,’ is the story of falling so deep into a partnership with someone and bearing the weight of the fear of messing it all up, knowing that changing for them would mean sacrificing yourself, but not being able to help the feeling of wanting to change for them. Hoping that the two of you can grow together over years and years, but not knowing if that is even in the cards for you. Knowing that only time will tell. ” Listen to "Crossing Fingers" Watch "Crossing Fingers"

Today, Greg Freeman releases "Point and Shoot," the first single off his stellar new album Burnover , which will be out on August 22nd. Pre-order available now HERE .  When Greg Freeman quietly released his debut LP I Looked Out in 2022 , it had no PR campaign, label, or music industry promo, but still garnered praise from notable critics, with Steven Hyden of UPROXX calling it “my favorite album of 2022 that I discovered in 2023,” and Paste Magazine naming it among the 25 Best Debut Albums of the 2020s. The word-of-mouth success of that release had Freeman on a relentless tour schedule. Lead single, "Point and Shoot" is reminiscent of Pavement with its jangly guitars and surreal lyricism and is premiered alongside an action packed, black and white music video featuring gamblers, cheats and musicians. The opening track to the album, the foreboding “Point and Shoot” is a livewire track, with tangible momentum and an expansive arrangement. Explosive, unsettli...

Rocket share new single “ Take Your Aim .” The blistering new track was written shortly after the release of their 2023 debut EP Versions of You , and will appear on the tracklist of the newly reissued EP, available on vinyl & CD for the first time via Transgressive Records / Canvasback, out April 18th. Pre-order is available HERE . The track is about “the indignant response to feeling misunderstood or taken advantage of by someone but not being able to confront them about it,”   says the band’s Alithea Tuttle , “It’s about a friendship that was built upon them taking more than they give and watching the friendship grow sour as time goes on. The verses illustrate the nature of the relationship; what that person says is what goes and no one can change their mind. The choruses fall back into the repetitiveness of overthinking; if this is all my fault like you say it is then take your aim.” Comprised of Tuttle (Bass, Vocals), Baron Rinzler (Guitar), Cooper Ladomade (Drums) a...

  ‘ I Looked Out ’ is the debut album from Vermont’s finest, Greg Freeman. Having recently signed with Canvasback / Transgressive Records, his critically acclaimed debut album is being re-released today, complete with two bonus tracks. On 17th January 2025, the album will also be released for the first ever on vinyl. This reissue features a new rendition of “Long Distance Driver (Acoustic),” which includes a special collaboration with Merce Lemon. Speaking about the track, Greg says “I wrote this song a few years ago, when the world was entering a scary and uncertain time, and hope seemed fleeting and very far in the distance. The song is about wanting to find connection in such a world. In a way, it feels like an old song to me at this point, but that place of uncertainty feels even more pronounced than when I wrote it. The acoustic version is just more sparse. There’s a harmonica instead of a saxophone. There’s no drums either. Merce does the high part and I do the low part. I al...
