Rokets Bad Choices CD Review

March 23, 2025

Man, this is what I needed! High octane rock and roll that bends you over, has its way with you and leaves a twenty on the nightstand. Finnish high-speed rockers Rokets are the quintessential good time band that you crank up to 11 and just give yourself to and with
influences like the Hellacopters and Turbonegro, it’s almost  impossible not to immerse yourself in it. The band’s latest effort, ‘Bad Choices’, is their debut release for Svart Records and is sure to make a lasting impression on the label and fans alike.
 
It’s difficult to really highlight any standout tracks because everything is killer. The opening title track gets the party started with some fun riffs and solos that make me think of Chrome Division, which is always appreciated. “Shackles Without Chains”, “Overload” and “White Raven” are must listens and tracks I would love to see live pressed up against the guardrail screaming my head off to. “Law and Order” has got some bluesy riffs in conjunction with the needle-to-the-vein rock and roll that the band so efficiently lays
down which makes it something exceptional. I’ve listened to ‘Bad Choices’ multiple times now and I just get lost in it and enjoy myself so much that by the time the album is over I need another fix.
