Quotes:



"All bands are essentially supervillians trying to kill James Bond (that’s you.) Far too many bands are Jaws, all metal teeth and brute force. Rocket Surgery is Goldfinger—super-precise crotch laser and all." - Chief Magazine



"Traces of country and grunge among other influences step in and out with deliberate baroque riffery, arabic modalities, barbershop harmonies and spacy experimental interludes. listening to Rocket Surgery's CD feels like climbing K2 in a swirling storm." - WFMU's Beware of the Blog



"A duo of New York City musicians who go about synths and guitars to create experimental, passionate, brash, cogent music which is really hard to peg." - a limerick ox



"Lyrics and music alike feel overwhelmingly apocalyptic." - Sputnik Music



"One minute you will be involved in some bizzaro Frank Zappa-inspired universe, the next cascading down a Rascal Reporters styled musical nightmare, and ultimately participating in what can only be described as a psychedelic love fest between Sonic Youth, King Crimson, The Chipmunks, Pink Floyd, and Captain Beefheart." - Sea of Tranquility



"The most exciting thing about Rocket Surgery is how difficult it is to categorize their sound. What I can say is that their chaos is calculated." - proj-tr.com
