Rocketscience

A very short lived Indie/Emo band that didn't even have a final show, they simply disappeared in the way the band Her way did. The band put out 2 7"s in '96 one being a self titled and the other one as "2" the band sounds like a mixture of Goodbye, blue Monday/Anklebiter/Probably something Crank! A record company would release. Seems like something that could have been under one release instead like a 10" or all 4 songs on a 7". To be honest because both records are very identical it would have been more logical to do that. Some of the members went on to play in some other garage, psychedelic, power pop bands which I honestly didn't bother checking out. Rocketscience had something good going on. Shame it ended too soon.

Discography

Gila bend

From 1995-1996 this band was active in Chicago, they had released a self titled 3 song 7" accompanied with song on a compilation 7" called Emo Schmeemo all under the same label called Liberty park recordings. In 1996 the band released 3 songs on separate compilations one being part of Polyvinyl's compilation "Direction" One of the other compilations were part of the Ground rule double that had well known bands like Braid, The Promise ring, Mineral but also had actual good bands like Cinco de gatos, Orwell, Scout, The trigger Quintet, C-Clamp, Back of Dave, Shellac, Hubcap, etc. They were also part of the Oh do I love you 2xCD compilation. I feel like their discography being short it is hard to judge what was their best stuff since 7 songs came around. Gila Bend kinda reminds me of One hundred words for snow and Goodbye blue monday so if you like those 2 this one is a must.
