Group Sounds
Rocket from the Crypt next signed to Vagrant Records and released "Group Sounds" in 2001, including contributions from Superchunk drummer Jon Wurster as well as their new permanent drummer Mario Rubalcaba (Ruby Mars). "Group Sounds" was their first album to chart in their home country, reaching #40 on "Billboard"'s Top Independent Albums chart. "Live from Camp X-Ray" followed in 2002 and reached #45. It proved to be their final studio album, as the members drifted into other projects over the next few years and decided to disband. Rocket from the Crypt's final performance on Halloween 2005 in San Diego was filmed and recorded, and was released in 2008 as "R.I.P." "All Systems Go 3" followed that same year, and Reis plans to eventually release a fourth, final installment in the series. In October 2011 the band reunited for the children's television "Yo Gabba Gabba!" where they would perform a brand new song titled "He's a Chef" which was released as a limited edition single exclusively through Volcom clothing stores and later on the 2017 compilation "Yo Gabba Gabba! Hey!". A reunion tour followed in 2012. In March 2015 "Vintage Piss" was released under Sonny Vincent and Rocket from the Crypt. Rocket from the Crypt, minus the horn section, served as Vincent's backing band. The album was originally recorded in 2003 but left unmixed and unfinished until Reis, who also produced the album, decided to go back and give the album a proper mixing and release
