Austin Sound

Watch Out For Rockets was largely just an epic recording project masterminded by David Jones, best represented by the release of last year’s official debut, Let Me Levitate, but this year the band has formed into a proper quartet and begun emerging on local stages. With the recent release of their sophomore album, Beasts With Hearts of Gold, WOFR unloads an epic twenty song disc that spans the spectrum from light, lo-fi indie pop, to blistering guitar and Guided By Voices-styled rockers, to dark and throbbing dance-punk beats. While the band determinedly maintains their 4 track aesthetic, live they are an explosion of unexpected and relentless energy. You can brave the Rocket launch this Saturday, June 13 at the Beauty Bar as they share the stage with Arizona’s Holy Rolling Empire and local mashup king Car Stereo (Wars).
