Freedom Rockets recently finished recording the band’s soon-to-be-released first full-length album “American Trash” produced by American rock ‘n’ roll icon Tommy Stinson. In addition to being a founding and lifetime member of The Replacements, Stinson was a key second-generation ingredient in Guns N’ Roses and served a seven-year tenure with Soul Asylum. Stinson has also led three critically acclaimed bands of his own: Bash & Pop, Perfect and Cowboys in the Campfire. Freedom Rockets became acquainted with Tommy Stinson due to happenstance and a series of serendipitous meetings which led to Tommy producing the band’s record.
Freedom Rockets is an American rock ‘n’ roll band that finds its roots in the sound of 1980s post-punk / alternative guitar bands like The Replacements, Soul Asylum, The Neighborhoods and Big Dipper combined with the pop sensibilities and harmonies of 1970s bands like Big Star, The Raspberries and Fotomaker and an unmistakable dose of the infectious 1970 punk sounds of The Suicide Commandos.
The band is known for its explosive live performances packed with a powerful punch of indie, pop, punk, alternative and classic rock sounds. The band is Jimy Bishop (guitar / vocals), Adam Machado (drums / vocals), Luke Shenk (bass / vocals), Mike Mazzeo (guitar / vocals), and Colin Herrington (keyboards / saxophone).
The songs on the soon to be released record are written by Freedom Rockets lead vocalist / guitarist Jimy Bishop in collaboration with multi-platinum songwriter Frankie Vinci who was a member of 1970s supergroup Fotomaker.
