Biography

Rooted in the sounds of late-'90s alternative rock and the poppier sounds of emocore, Braintree, MA's A Rocket to the Moon formed in 2006. Essentially the brainchild -- and one-man band -- of Nick Santino, Rocket to the Moon started as an experiment. A plethora of positive raves and reviews of his work under the moniker led Santino to continue, eventually releasing -- by 2008 -- a pair of EPs, including that years' Greetings From... Signed to Fueled by Ramen, Santino -- that is to say, Rocket to the Moon, won over more hearts and ears on high profile tours with such similar acts as Cute Is What We Aim For and Hit the Lights. The group's debut album, On Your Side, was released in October of 2009. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
