Day The Earth Met Rocket From The Tombs

Here we have Ohio legends Rocket From The Tombs album 'The Day the Earth Met the Rocket From the Tombs' reissued on Fire Records. The five piece formed in 1974, played only a handful of shows, never put out a record and 12 short months later called it quits. ln 2002 demos, live recordings and bootlegs were unearthed culminating in enough material for an album which became 'The Day the Earth Met the Rocket from the Tombs'. Fire Records are thrilled to have acquired these songs and proud to bring you this historic reissue of 'The Day the Earth Met Rocket From The Tombs'. Some may already be familiar with work Gene O'Connor (AKA Cheetah Chrome) and Johnny Madansky did in Dead Boys and Stiv Bators, while David Thomas and Peter Laughner played in Pere Ubu. Don't be surprised to find Rocket From the Tombs even more ballistic than their later work.
