Rocketscience
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rocketscience is a Boston-based power-pop / rock band, formed in 1998 by Weymouth, MA natives Andrew Galdins, Aaron Stein and John Barber. They were later joined in 1999 by guitarist Jon Towne. Their Bealtes-influenced music with melodic hooks and further influences by Weezer and AC/DC helped get them to the finals of the 2000 WBCN Rock & Roll Rumble, losing only to Waltham and Rumble winners Darkbuster. They were later signed to a subsidiary of Warner Brothers, Offshore Records in summer of 2005. A single "Writer's Block" is featured on their latest release, 2005's "Rocketscience" self-titled album featuring Steven Tyler of Aerosmith on guest vocals. Aaron Stein left the band at the end of 2005. Currently bass duties are being performed by Rob Cushing as of 2006.
Currently the band is managed by Frank Cimler of Tenth Street Management in New York City.
