Rokets new studio album " Break Free"

Break Free” is the sophomore studio album by Finland’s Rokets. Following the release of their 2020 debut full length ”Fast Time”, the Helsinki based 5 piece returns with 9 new cuts of high octane rock’n’roll. ”Break Free” is packed with super-catchy garage rock featuring piercing melodies, blazing electric guitars, and tight, pounding rhythms. All topped with lead singer Sami’s characteristic, vibrant vocals. For the launch of the album, Rokets have for the first time teamed up with The Sign Records who’ll release the album on vinyl, CD, and all streaming platforms on the 9th of December.

Rokets comments: Break Free is the second full length attack by us; the Finnish rockers Rokets. Manned with new troops and more hooks, our wrecking crew is now ready to bring rock’n’roll back from the dead. We did a lot of songs in the beginning of the album writing process and then started cutting them down to a maximum of ten good ones. The songs you hear on the album are the ones we really love and adore, no fillers here! These nine slashing tracks of pure electric energy will make you bang your head while turning your sound-system into ashes. Satisfaction guaranteed!

The recording of the album started in the summer of 2021. After a couple of detours we got lucky enough to record most of the album at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki. Soon after vocals were recorded in Herttoniemi at our rehearsal studio in early 2022. Our lead guitarist Sakke handled the recording of the album while Robert Pehrsson (Robert Pehrsson’s Humbucker, Black Breath, Dundertåget, etc.) mixed it at Studio Humbucker. It was then mastered by Hans Olsson Brookes at Svenska Grammofonstudion in April 2022.

Rokets, formed in 2017, is a rocking and a rolling band from Helsinki, Finland. They have earned a reputation of a ferocious and electric live act through their constant gigging around Finland and the Baltic states. The band’s first EP Speed & Sound has been sold out for quite some time and their debut album Fast Times has gained a lot of attention and positive feedback around Europe and America. Now set to release their second album Break Free, Rokets are ready to make their presence be known with their high energy rock’n’roll. Besides setting stages on fire venue after another, the five members of Rokets have left a mark in the underground music scene of Finland by being a part of bands such as Black Lizard, Tryer, Velvets, Green King, United Seafood, Rusty Triggers and Slippers.
