ROCKET SHOTS is a heavy rock project founded by polish musicians Ola Wysocka (MILCZENIE OWIEC) and Anatol Glaser (THRASHER DEATH, NO HEAVEN AWAITS US) in April 2013. After the joining of bassist Piotr Fryca (THRASHER DEATH, TYRAN) and drummer Karol Blok (THRASHER DEATH, TYRAN) they recorded their debut EP "SMGMF" (February 2014). It has been positively reviewed by the Rock Hard magazine (DE).

As a result, the band began performing live, e.g. supporting Texas based rockers Scorpion Child in Warsaw, DettenRockt Festival against racism in Germany and some gigs played in Dutch, German and Polish clubs.

At the beginning of 2015 RS shows with "Walking the Line" - combined with a slasher movie inspired music video directed by Brit, David McCool. They start to record new ep few months later in Vintage Records Studio in Porażyn (PL). As a result Rocket Shots enter into cooperation with the Vintage Records label.

The bands second - "Son Of A Gun" EP - is characterized by distorted guitars, heavy riffs, strong and melodic female vocals. Rocket Shots music got another great reviews, f.ex. Rock Hard Megazine, PowerMetal.de, DarkPlanet.pl! So don't miss the bus and listen to it now!

"SON OF A GUN" Ep Reviews:

"„No Emo, No Gothic, No Bullshit” – reklamują się Rocket Shots w przesłanej notce promocyjnej i coś w tym jest. Polski kwartet ze swoim ciężkim do zaszufladkowania rockiem z metalowymi i grungowymi wpływami balansuje pomiędzy ciężkimi riffami i przebojowymi liniami wokalnymi – te ostatnie umiejętnie wykonane przez wokalistkę wraz z odpowiednią dozą zadziorności, która nasuwa skojarzenia z Die Happy i L7 – jeśli mogę sobie pozwolić na tak mało oryginalne porównanie. W każdym razie cztery utwory na tej epce są świetnie wyprodukowane, nie odpływają za bardzo w popowe klimaty wyżej wymienionych kapel, a wręcz mimo prostoty muzyki obfitują w kilka ciekawych smaczków, które świadczą o potencjale na jeszcze więcej. Zajebista okładka poza tym."

— Simon Dümpelmann, Rocket Shots - Son of a Gun Ep - review Rock Hard Megazine

“Lässige, wenn auch verdammt kurze EP der polnischen RockerInnen Der knackige Einstiegssong 'USS' lässt auf Anhieb an diverse US-Stadion-Rock-Bands denken und sobald der Gesang einsetzt, kommt einem im Speziellen HALESTORM in den Sinn, da Frontlady Ola vom Ausdruck her Lizzy Hale verdammt nahe kommt. Allerdings, soviel ist nach kurzer Zeit ebenso amtlich, klingt die Mucke von ROCKET SHOTS nach einer deutlich deftigeren Version besagter AmerikanerInnen. (...)”

— Walter Scheurer, SON OF A GUN (EP) - review PowerMetal.de

“Rockowe Strzały grają melodyjny, energetyczny, oparty na mocnych gitarach rock z kobiecym wokalem, do którego znakomicie pasuje określenie "vintage" i który w ostatnim czasie przeżywa swój renesans. Jest tu dużo rockowej surówki, jest sporo stoner rockowej pustyni i sporo momentów, które budzą skojarzenia z Hole. (...)”

— Oki (Diabolista), Rocket Shots - Son of a Gun Ep - review DarkPlanet.pl

“''Son of a gun'' ma w sobie mroczny klimat znany z nagrań Alice In Chains lub też wczesnego Soundgarden. Szkoda tylko, że utwór jest tak krótki – chciałoby się nieco dłużej posmakować tych dźwięków. (...)”

— Marcin Mlek, ROCKET SHOTS ''SON OF A GUN'' (EP 2015) - review Muzol.com.pl

32 minutes of brilliant female-fronted trad doom by a band who really understand the genre. Vocalist / guitarist Krista Van Guilder is a veteran of the scene, being an ex-member of Warhorse and has really turned in a superb vocal performance this time round, coupled with heavy and anthemic song-writing this is a real tour de force.
