Rocket From the Crypt - Scream, Dracula, Scream

Label: Interscope
Year: 1995
Genre: Punk Rock
Recommmending Person: Paul Conant

This is a band I have not heard of previously, so I was excited. The general vibe is something I am generally very into. There is a performance aspect of becoming an entirely different character that I enjoy. It's really much more enjoyable than a performer just trying to sell themselves as slightly different than what they are in real life. 

Rocket From the Crypt experienced much larger popularity in the UK than the US, which has a weird history which one day I want to be fully explored by someone talented (aka Not me), and they do a good job of melding Rock genre's into their Punk Rock aesthetic. I particular enjoy a Bruce Spingsteenian offering in in the song "Used". It maybe the orchestral backing or the harmony driven chorus, but I could easily see it covered by "The Boss" in a 25 minute long live version.
