Rocket 455

Rocket 455 was an American garage rock band from Detroit, Michigan. Enduring numerous lineup changes -- their 2001 lineup includes Mark Walz (vocals), Jeff Meier (guitar), Marco Delicato (guitar), Kenny (drums), and Steve Nawara (bass) -- Rocket 455 specializes in high-energy, three-chord rock à la their Motor City ancestors (Stooges, MC5, etc.). The band released their first single in 1994, leading to further singles and appearances on compilations, plus the '97 6-track EP Sees All, Knows All, Tells All, and their 2001 full-length, Go to Hell, on Get Hip Recordings.
==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have first played Rocket 455 in 1995 when he played their Go To Hell track. He also played further material from them in 2001 when the garage rock revival hit its peak. After Peel's death, it was later found out that he had a copy of their single, which they shared with the White Stripes and the Blowtops, in his record box.
