The Rocketboys is an indie rock band from Austin, Texas. ==History== Formerly known as Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys, the band formed late 2005 in Abilene, Texas. The original line-up met while they were attending Abilene Christian University. Singer Brandon Kinder entered the (at that time) informal group in a college battle-of-the-bands and needed a name. Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys, an idea inspired by the movie October Sky he had randomly had in mind for a while, was the first name to come to mind. In 2009, the band shortened their name to simply The Rocketboys after relocating to Austin, Texas where the band's members currently reside. In early 2009, drummer (and creator of P. Ellis Drums) Philip Ellis left the band. Replacing Ellis was Alex Bhore, former drummer of The New Frontiers. Bhore left the band, however, in fall 2010 to join This Will Destroy You full-time. Guitarists and original members Dan Wheeler and Mitch Holt also decided to part ways with the group in late 2010 to allocate more of their time to be home with their families and to pursue their other endeavors outside of the band. After a long writing period, remaining members Brandon, Josh, and Justin, along with new drummer Josh Rodgers, released "Build Anyway", in June 2012. The rest of 2012 and 2013 was spent on the road with bands such as Relient K, The Almost, The Mowgli's, Kopecky Family Band, Dinner and a Suit, and Mike Mains & the Branches. Their music continued to feature in numerous TV shows, indie movies and commercials. In 2014, The Rocketboys signed to Black Magnetic Records and recorded an EP with producer Joe Chiccarelli at Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood. The EP, "Left | Right" was released January 6, 2015, to coincide with the use of their song "Viva Voce" in the final season of the TV show "Glee" where it was the signature song of new character "Roderick" 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「The Rocketboys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
