Comment:
The band are as tight as anything in the Toronto scene. Rocket Science's arrangements are terrifying, and the band's chops are super-human at times. They're accessible enough, but have the ability to do a 180 and ehad in a totally different direction without blinking an eye. Chops meets smart songwriting works like a charm.

Rocket Science left the pleasantries for later and concentrated on flooring the audience. At times, vocalist Higgins let loose his wail, and held down his complicated, grinding bass parts with a very scary look in his eye... one that said, "Take one step back."

Strengths/ Weaknesses/ Next Step:
The band simply smokes, and have a level of muscianship that is much welcome. They are as progressive as anything, but left all of the cheezy elements of prog behind in favour of a sound that gave the audience a sheer punk pummeling instead of a lullabye. The band also peeled off an impressive version of the Clash's "Clampdown." Damn straight!

Strengths/ Weaknesses/ Next Step:
You can tell when a band concentrates on their music and not on their clothes. The band is well-accomplished and know how to push a rock show forward rather than let it stagnate. Rocket Science packed the Elmo and the audience ate it up. The band looked like they were having a hell of a good time, and thus the audience did too. A band to be on the lookout for in a big way!
