Rocket to The Moon
- Actor
Rooted in the sounds of late-'90s alternative rock and the poppier
sounds of emocore, Braintree, MA's A Rocket to the Moon formed in 2006.
Essentially the brainchild -- and one-man band -- of Nick Santino,
Rocket to the Moon started as an experiment. A plethora of positive
raves and reviews of his work under the moniker led Santino to
continue, eventually releasing -- by 2008 -- a pair of EPs, including
that years' Greetings From. Signed to Fueled by Ramen, Santino -- that
is to say, Rocket to the Moon, won over more hearts and ears on high
profile tours with such similar acts as Cute Is What We Aim For and Hit
the Lights. Recently, Nick has converted over to full band, sharing
with stage with; guitarist Justin Richards, bassist Eric Halvorsen and
drummer Andrew Cook. Their new album, On Your Side, was released in
October of 2009.
