The languid 90s alt-rock sound has been surging back recently and I’m here for it. Rocket are one of the best examples of the revival with the puzzle pieces of their debut album, R Is For Rocket, coming together and looking like something rather special. The last-lap bell for the album is their new single, ‘Another Second Chance’. The crunchy guitars and doubled-up snare point squarely at the alt-rock and Britpop zone, with the song whipping out a big chorus to equal the great swing of the verse.
The mid-point breakdown is a wonderful showcase of the drums as things build into a dreamy middle-eight that then consumes the whole second-half of the song. The sentiment matches the sound, with the song described as an ode to never feeling good enough by singer and bassist Alithea Tuttle.
