Princeton Record Exchange reviews Punishment Cookie
The world famous Princeton Record exchange said some real nice stuff about our new record Punishment Cookie that they are now selling! Here’s some of the article.
Pop-punk in the best possible way, Hair Rocket shoot through their first full-length with a witty, high-energy, yet irreverent sound, playing rough and fast while managing to pull off the polish. From the bouncing rhythm of “Eyes” to the lyrical porn for women (“I can flatter you all night long”) of “In My Brain,” Hair Rocket’s Punishment Cookie delights, pleasing both the ears and the shuffling feet of anyone looking for a good jam.
Comparing themselves to The Pixies, Spoon, and Cheap Trick, Hair Rocket is more than your average garage band, and they’re full of surprises. Just when you think you’ve got Hair Rocket’s number, the band busts out an unexpected keyboard solo, sax riff, or clap rhythm. READ THE WHOLE THING HERE!

FILM PUNK LOVE!!!
Our most awesome friends Film Punk just posted this about the new record.
The record is a brash, bluesy, lo-fi rock jolt that’s loaded with hooks and seething guitar. To pick but three of my favourite songs, “Hair Rocket” sounds like Wire playing The Feelies, “Ok Alright” is a paranoid barnburner with an unforgettable wordless chorus, “Imagining” is sweet but persistent. It has the intensity and immediacy of other Philadelphia bands like Laguardia or Pepper’s Ghost, but Blasucci has a confident enough voice that he’ll outlast them and make a lasting impression. His debut record has a sound simultaneously solid and loose and I’ve been listening almost non-stop since I got it.READ THE FULL STORY HERE
