Los Angeles-based rock band Rocket, consisting of Alithea Tuttle (vocals/bass), Baron Rinzler (guitar), Cooper Ladomade (drums) and Desi Scaglione (guitar), has announced their debut album “R is for Rocket” will be released on October 3, 2025 via Transgressive Records.
The album comprises 10 tracks, produced by the band guitarist Desi Scaglione.
From the album, the band released a new song “Wide Awake” on July 9, 2025.
The song is the third single off of the album, following “Crossing Fingers” and “One Million”.
It was written by Alithea Tuttle, Baron Rinzler, Cooper Ladomade, and Desi Scaglione.
The band recorded the song at American rock band Foo Fighters' Studio 606 in Los Angeles. Produced by Desi Scaglione.
The accompanying music video was directed by Jaxon Whittington, starring Viggo Christensen, Victoria Blade, and Robbie Pitts.
The band said of the song, “'Wide Awake' is the perfect balance of all the elements of this record. After years in the making and countless versions, we're excited to finally share it.”- The band said of the album, “R Is for Rocket is about relationships, the most important part of life; relationships with your friends, your parents, your girlfriend or boyfriend, and most importantly your relationship with yourself.”
The band lead singer Alithea Tuttle continued, “All of the touring led to the songs changing for the better. We got to play them for so many different kinds of audiences and hear what worked and what didn't.”
Desi Scaglione added, “Recording the second half of the album eight months after the first half gave us a lot of time to think about what we were doing. We ended up re-recording three songs because we felt like we could just do better.” -
