Musical style

Rocket's music has been cited as being reminiscent of 90s-era alternative rock and grunge, as well as having elements of shoegaze. [2] [3] [4] [5] They have cited bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana and My Bloody Valentine as inspirations. [2] [5]

In a 2025 interview with The Line of Best Fit , Scaglione stated "I don't think any of us consider ourselves a shoegaze or grunge band, at the end of the day, we're just a rock band. One that loves a lot of different kinds of music." [5]
