Rocket Scientists is a progressive rock band that deftly fuses symphonic, electronic, and melodic segments to create a uniquely sophisticated and cinematic sound. Formed in the early 1990s, the band was initially a collaboration between keyboardist Erik Norlander and guitarist Mark McCrite. As the group evolved, they were joined by drummer and percussionist Gregg Bissonette, enriching their sound with his versatile rhythms. The integration of Don Schiff on NS/Stick (a combination guitar and bass) has further diversified their sonic palette. Together, these musicians blend their mastery and individual prowess to craft intricate compositions that have garnered a loyal following among prog-rock enthusiasts.

The band's discography is a testament to their longstanding dedication to the genre, with each album marking a progression in their creative journey. Their most recent work, "Refuel," released in 2014, showcases their ability to continuously innovate and keep their music fresh and engaging. "Supernatural Highways," a predominantly instrumental outing, demonstrates their flair for thematic explorations in sound. The "Looking Backward" box set, which includes "The 2007 Sessions," offers a rich anthology of their work, capturing the evolution of their style and mastery. Their remastered albums from 2007 – "Earthbound," "Brutal Architecture," and "Oblivion Days" – present their earlier material with a newfound clarity and power. "Revolution Road," another celebrated album, embodies the band's knack for storytelling through progressive rock. By keeping their sound dynamic and their compositions intricate, Rocket Scientists have established themselves as a formidable force in the progressive rock scene.
