Watch the video for ‘Lost At Sea’ here.
Belgian pop-punk outfit The Rocket are sharing the video for their latest single ‘Lost At Sea’, taken from their forthcoming album ‘Another Reason Not To Fear The Sky’, which is due out 30th November. The follow-up to recent single Focus, can now be watched here.
Speaking about the single, the band said;
"Lost at Sea might be one of the most personal songs our singer Tom has ever written. Although he’s this great charismatic dude who fills every room with joy, he’s not always great with expressing his feelings and thoughts. When he does so in lyrics like these, it’s always so poignant. He went through a bad breakup when we were writing the album, and Lost at Sea is about coming to terms with his own feelings.
We’re really proud of the clip we did for this one too; we fully directed and edited it ourselves, which was a painstaking process with lots of post-production and effects. For not being a high budget production, we really feel like we were able to stay true to our original concept and idea and the images just complete the song so well. The video shows a kid astronaut getting stuck on a planet without people, which to us seemed like a great metaphor for the loneliness depicted by the lyrics."
Having taken a break from writing together, the Rocket's new album Another Reason Not To Fear The Sky sees the band return in full effect. Produced by Marc McClusky (Weezer, Motion City Soundtrack, Bad Religion) and mastered by Chris Athens (Beastie Boys, AC/DC, N.E.R.D), the record is proof of the reinvigorated energy that has seen the quintet earn an illustrious live reputation playing stages at the likes of Groezrock and alongside many other major European festivals.
The album also features guest appearances from Justin Pierre (lead vocals/guitar) & Joshua Cain (lead guitar) of Motion City Soundtrack, merging the band's first-era pop-punk influences (think-Millencollin, NFG, Blink 182) with some of their more synth driven melodic sensibilities.
With years of gigging experience their shows are full of anthemic choruses, hook-driven emotive vocals, melodious synth lines and rapturous drumming, The Rocket are ready to blow all expectations away with a record that pushes genre forward with new layers of intricacy and depth, whilst packing in the vigour and irrepressible choruses fans of the genre have come to know and love.
Another Reason Not To Fear The Sky is due out on 30th November and will be see the band continue to a number of shows across Europe throughout the rest of 2018.
