Playing a unique style of music that has been described as everything from “carnie rock” to “vaudevillian indie rock”, Rocketsmiths have been smashing audiences all over the country with their wildly-entertaining live shows over the last couple of years. Now, after releasing two critically acclaimed EPs, enjoying widespread radio play and gaining a legion of fans across Australia, Rocketsmiths are releasing this single as a precursor to their highly anticipated first album, recorded once again with Brisbane super producer, Magoo, and due out in the first quarter of 2010.
