Go and have a taste of it at digital platforms and get yourself a LP or CD at Kuudes Linja next week on the 17th when we’ll celebrate its arrival to this world!

All the love and all the thank you’s go to The Sign Records for all the hard-work and helping hands they have given! Recorded by our very own Sakke Vänttinen at Finnvox, mixed by Robert Pehrsson in Studio Humbucker and mastered by Hans Olsson Brookes in Svenska Grammofonstudion. Artwork Ella Berglund.

»Break Free« is the sophomore studio album by Finland’s Rokets. Following the release of their 2020 debut full-length »Fast Time«, the Helsinki based 5 piece returns with 9 new cuts of high octane rock’n’roll. »Break Free« is packed with super-catchy garage rock featuring piercing melodies, blazing electric guitars, and tight, pounding rhythms. All topped with lead singer Sami’s characteristic, vibrant vocals. For the launch of the album, Rokets have for the first time teamed up with The Sign Records who’ll release the album on vinyl, CD, and all streaming platforms on the 9th of December.

Rokets comments: “»Break Free« is the second full-length attack by us; the Finnish rockers Rokets. Manned with new troops and more hooks, our wrecking crew is now ready to bring rock’n’roll back from the dead. We did a lot of songs in the beginning of the album writing process and then started cutting them down to a maximum of ten good ones. The songs you hear on the album are the ones we really love and adore, no fillers here! These nine slashing tracks of pure electric energy will make you bang your head while turning your sound-system into ashes. Satisfaction guaranteed!

The recording of the album started in the summer of 2021. After a couple of detours we got lucky enough to record most of the album at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki. Soon after vocals were recorded in Herttoniemi at our rehearsal studio in early 2022. Our lead guitarist Sakke handled the recording of the album while Robert Pehrsson (Robert Pehrsson’s Humbucker, Black Breath, Dundertåget, etc.) mixed it at Studio Humbucker. It was then mastered by Hans Olsson Brookes at Svenska Grammofonstudion in April 2022.”
