Rocket Kings

**Rocket Kings** are a British indie-rock outfit known for their energetic live shows and knack for blending gritty guitar riffs with synth-infused hooks. Formed in the late 2000s in Brighton, the band built a loyal following with their anthemic sound and relatable lyrics, drawing comparisons to acts like The Rifles and The Pigeon Detectives. Their recent releases—like the driving optimism of *Paving the Way* and the wistful holiday single *Christmas Without You*—showcase their range, bouncing between introspective storytelling and crowd-pleasing choruses.

With 2023’s *The Spellbound EP* and the warm, nostalgic *Everyday Adventures*, Rocket Kings lean into their love for cinematic alt-rock while keeping their DIY spirit alive. They’ve toured extensively across the UK and Europe, earning a rep as a band that thrives onstage. Though they’ve flown under the mainstream radar, their consistent output and dedication to grassroots gigging keep them a cult favorite for fans of heartfelt, riff-heavy indie.
