Step Rockets:
Step Rockets burst onto the international music scene with their single Kisser, a self-released indie pop anthem that shot to #1 on the Hype Machine charts just weeks after its release. The track was featured on countless Best-of-2013 lists and set the stage for what has become one of the most exciting acts of the past year.
The Minneapolis foursome has built a reputation for their cosmic recycling of music past and present. The band seamlessly blends New Wave, Reggae, and EDM through the lens of a psychedelic rock band, churning out indie pop gems that keep the listener coming back for more. Step Rockets have garnered further praise for their dynamic live show, where their original songs showcase impressive musicianship and the fresh, uncompromising sound of a band that's quickly forging a profound musical identity.
