Editorial Reviews

Review
The music of Rocket is what you get when '60s girl groups, Bomp! Records powerpop, and Chapman/Chinn bubblegum glam collide under the California sun. Ebullient, sugar-sweet, crunchy, and punchy, Girls With Candy Hearts is packed full of mellifluous hooks and honey-dipped harmonies. --Now Wave

Product Description
Brand new seven song dose of Forever 21-influenced fuzz-pop from bratty Hollywood girl army. The soundtrack to Baskin-Robbins being held up by Blondie and the Spice Girls.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rocket Rocks!, May 24, 2007

By	M. Segers (MTSU, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't write these ladies off just because they're a band of hot girls, and no, they are not clones of The Donna's. These ladies know what they're doing. "Girls With Candy Hearts" is the definition of infectious and insanely danceable. There's a retro feel that is reminiscent of The Pretenders and The Go-Go's. Stand out tracks are "Not that Kind of Girl" and "Funtime". "Not that Kind..." is not what you think, as this quote will tell you: "All the boys know that I don't date, unless he's really hot." It manages to make such superficiality ok with its bouncy chorus and "Mickey" style handclaps. The chanting hook of "Hey baby, we like you lips. Hey baby, we like you're pants. All aboard for fun time" opens "Funtime", a track that features references to "Dracula and crew" as "we're havin' fun." The song also boasts a bassy new wave beat that is very "Money for Nothing". All in all, this a great soundtrack for rocking out in the mirror, singing into a hairbrush.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sorry for the pun, but this album ROCKS!, June 22, 2006

By	Patty Alspaugh "Dolce Far Niente" (Hollywood Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I knew I was listening to a hot new band the first time I played this album! When I played it again a few days later, I was dancing around the kitchen, excited anew as each song played, amazed at the versatility of the music. MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Unexpected Treat!, July 6, 2009

By	John D. Pride (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Looking at the cover, you'd never expect this thing to rock like it does, but boy, does it ever! A lot like Holly and The Italians or Dollyrots, GoGos, girl-group snotty OC punk attitude, amazing musicianship and songs (not to mention a sense of humor - Listen to "Guitar Center"). This one's been in my car all summer!
