Rocket Science must have something going for them when Supergrass's Gaz Coombes describes them as "the best band I've heard in simply ages."

They're coming to the Social at the end of the month (31st July) so you might want to get your tickets quickly.

Hailing from Melbourne, they're a four-piece that like to mix a garage punk sound with Yamaha organ.

During the interview Kit from the band talks about:-

  • The origins of Rocket Science.
  • The importance of the organ sound.
  • Comparisons to the Hives and the Strokes.
  • The glowing reviews for Contact high.
  • How they think they'll have to earn success abroad before they're accepted back home.
