The discography of Rocket from the Crypt, a San Diego-based alternative rock band active from 1990 to 2005, consists of seven studio albums, two EPs, one live album, two DVDs, twenty-eight singles, and eight music videos. Rocket from the Crypt was formed in 1990 with an initial lineup of singer/guitarist John Reis (Speedo), guitarist Andy Stamets (ND), bassist Pete Reichert (Petey X), drummer Sean, and backing vocalist Elaina. Their debut album, ''Paint as a Fragrance'', was released in 1991 through the Cargo Music imprint Headhunter Records. Sean and Elaina then moved away from San Diego and drummer Adam Willard (Atom) and saxophonist Paul O'Beirne (Apollo 9) joined. The band released a series of vinyl singles on various independent record labels, followed by their second album, ''Circa: Now!'', on Headhunter in 1992. Trumpeter Jason Crane (JC 2000) joined the band just as ''Circa: Now!'' attracted the attention of major record labels. Rocket from the Crypt signed with Interscope Records, who re-released ''Circa: Now!'' while Cargo released ''All Systems Go'', a compilation album of the band's vinyl singles. The band's contract with Interscope included the freedom to record vinyl releases for other labels. They had three releases in 1995: The EP ''The State of Art is on Fire'', the LP ''Hot Charity'', and the album ''Scream, Dracula, Scream!'' The singles "Born in '69" and "Young Livers" reached the UK Singles Chart at #68 and #67 respectively. "On a Rope" was a greater success, reaching #12. Music videos for all three singles were played on MTV and MTV Europe, and ''Scream, Dracula, Scream!'' peaked at #41 on the UK Albums Chart. ''RFTC'' was released in 1998 but did not fare as well as its predecessor, reaching only #63 while its lead single "Lipstick" reached #64. Rocket from the Crypt left Interscope in 1999 and released the EP ''Cut Carefully and Play Loud'' independently. Disagreements over the band's direction led to Willard leaving the group, and the band took a hiatus during which Reis founded Swami Records and released ''All Systems Go 2''. Rocket from the Crypt next signed to Vagrant Records and released ''Group Sounds'' in 2001, including contributions from Superchunk drummer Jon Wurster as well as their new permanent drummer Mario Rubalcaba (Ruby Mars). ''Group Sounds'' was their first album to chart in their home country, reaching #40 on ''Billboard'''s Top Independent Albums chart. ''Live from Camp X-Ray'' followed in 2002 and reached #45. It proved to be their final studio album, as the members drifted into other projects over the next few years and decided to disband. Rocket from the Crypt's final performance on Halloween 2005 in San Diego was filmed and recorded, and was released in 2008 as ''R.I.P.'' ''All Systems Go 3'' followed that same year, and Reis plans to eventually release a fourth, final installment in the series. == Studio albums == I ''Circa: Now!'' was reissued on CD by Interscope in 1993, and again in 2004 by Swami as ''Circa: Now! +4''. II ''Hot Charity'' was reissued on CD by Swami in 2002 on the compilation album ''Hot Charity / Cut Carefully and Play Loud''. III Despite its title, ''Live from Camp X-Ray'' is a studio album rather than a live album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rocket from the Crypt discography」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
