Rocket From the Crypt

Musical Group

American rock band from San Diego known for energetic, horn-augmented punk/rock and spirited live shows. Active primarily in the 1990s and early 2000s.

John Reis (also known as Speedo) is associated with the band; the review notes that guitarist John Reis comes from Drive Like Jehu. The band's music often features saxophone and megaphone effects (noted in the provided review).

A strongly positive review celebrating Circa: Now! as a post-punk/punk high point, highlighting tracks like "Short Lip Fuser" and the band's use of saxophone and megaphone effects. The reviewer reverses an initial skepticism about "revivalists" and calls the album a masterpiece.

For:Fans of punk, post-punk and 90s alternative rock who like energetic, horn-tinged rock records.

 Personally, revivalists have never been my thing: you know, I always told myself, what enjoyment do they find in rehashing someone else’s style? What particular skill do they show in shaping their music on standards already heard a million times? And, above all, how dare they call their music “alternative” when they are borrowing from successful genres just to achieve the same success?
