“Crossing Fingers” is Rocket’s third single of the year and another leveling up of their already kinetic sound. The track “is the story of falling so deep into a partnership with someone and bearing the weight of the fear of messing it all up,” shares vocalist and bassist Alithea Tuttle. “Knowing that changing for them would mean sacrificing yourself, but not being able to help the feeling of wanting to change for them. Hoping that the two of you can grow together over years and years, but not knowing if that is even in the cards for you. Knowing that only time will tell.”

The release is accompanied by a video directed by Tanner Deutsch. Watch it here.

Rocket’s 2023 debut EP was praised by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Paste, and Consequence, among others, and landed the band their first cover story at NME. The forward momentum put the band on the road for most of 2024, opening for iconic bands like The Pixies’ Frank Black, Ride, Sunny Day Real Estate, Silversun Pickups, and peers including Julie, Bar Italia, Hotline TNT & more. The band appeared on festival stages around the world, including Pitchfork London & Paris, Bumbershoot, Best Friends Forever, and many more.

Earlier this year the band shared “Take Your Aim” alongside a Consequence ‘Origins’ feature. The blistering new track was written shortly after the release of their debut EP, and will appear on the tracklist of the newly reissued EP, available on vinyl & CD for the first time via Transgressive Records / Canvasback. Order vinyl & CD HERE. The quartet followed the track up with “One Million,” a harmony laden and soaring ode to accepting you’ve given all you can in a relationship.

This Fall, Rocket will embark on their debut US headline tour, kicking off in October after a run of August dates supporting The Smashing Pumpkins across the UK. Tickets on sale HERE.
