Kirkcaldy Bands
Rockets
Revenge
The Rocket Men of Leven

Well lets see..The first thing you need
to know about 'Rockets Revenge' is
that we are no longer together!! We
split up after almost 5 years together
around 1998 or so. But...our music
lives on and will never die!

Thats
exactly why its on here for todays
kids to enjoy. Well..thats the idea
anyway... We were formed in the Cold
East Coast Town of Leven in
Fife,Scotland in 1994 and existed
solely on a diet of Goth, Metal and Punk
and a diet of Cheap Crisps and lots
of strong Cider which soon became a
big influence on our music!!

We partied hard and had a good time
doing it
but, like all good things it had to
end sometime...and so it did....Live
we were animated, fun and fueled
with nonsense..In our time we recorded
one Studio Cd and the tracks from it
are below..

The songs live on for a
new audience here to breathe new
life into them..We hope that you enjoy
and that our old tunes brighten up
your day...A review of us once said
'the Future Stirs in Scotland' and
for a while it just might have.

Update: We were recently played, a couple
of times, on KrushRadio,
Chicago, which was nice.. Thanks DJ
Bratprince!! And were once
featured on Radio Scotlands 'Beat
Patrol' Programme..maybe we aint dead
yet! lol...

Rockets are dead..long live Rockets!!!!
