LA's hottest young alt. rock/shoegaze band Rocket announce UK and European tour, release new single One Million

Rocket, the hotly-tipped Los Angeles alt. rock / shoegaze / grunge quartet have announced UK and European headline shows ahead of four arena-sized gigs in support to Smashing Pumpkins. The band have also shared a new single, One Million, on Transgressive Records / Canvasback.

Talking about the ideas behind the song, the band say: “One Million is about wanting someone to meet you halfway but not knowing if they ever will. It’s the feeling of doing everything you can, going above and beyond for someone, knowing that you would wait a million years for them just to notice how important they are to you.

"It’s the hoping that maybe you are as important to them as well. It’s learning to be okay with the fact that you might always love them more."
