We started with 52 songs. It took about 6 months, but we narrowed it down to 12 songs. The Rocket Club “North Country” CD is finished. Wanna hear it? Our friends at K102 in Minneapolis are gonna give you a free sneak preview of the whole thing starting at 7:00 a.m. CST this morning!

Over the past 7 months, 52 new songs were painlessly narrowed down to 25 demo recordings. Those 25 demo recordings were delicately and reluctantly culled to 15 studio tracks. Then — through debate, negotiation, extortion, threats, lies, emotional outbursts and sheer feats of will power — those 15 studio tracks were scalpeled down to 12 tracks. Those 12 tracks now represent 1 new album.
North Country.
On May 3rd, we want to raise our glasses (yeah, we got ‘em) and toast the whole damn thing.

Rocket Club was #1 tonight on the countdown on our home-town station, K102 Minneapolis. It is all because of your requests. Thanks so much! Here’s hoping that trend spreads to the other cities that are supporting North Country as well.

MINNEAPOLIS (May 25, 2011) – Local, chart-climbing, country rock band Rocket Club will launch its newest single North Country May 26 on iTunes and Amazon.com. North Country is a country rock single that pays tribute to northerners’ love for weekend getaways “up north.”
North Country is the title track from Rocket Club’s upcoming third album by the same name. The song has already been called an “Anthem to the North” by Minneapolis country music station K102. Rocket Club also released this week a music video of the song directed by Twin Cities filmmaker, Joe Brandmeier, which showcases the band hitting the road and heading up north interspersed with vintage home movies that could have come from anyone’s personal collection. The music video can be seen on YouTube and at the www.rocketclub.info.
