Rocket From The Crypt make their return to Ireland this weekend

Loved by the likes of Dave Grohl and Metallica and lauded by rock scribes across the globe, Rocket From The Crypt make their grand return to these shores for a brace of shows this weekend in Belfast's Black Box (Dec 2) and Dublin's Whelan's (Dec 3).

One of the finest live bands on planet Earth, the seminal garage punks have earned a fierce reputation for being like a Dr Marten-clad Kraken as they leave no ass un-kicked. Led by their charismatic frontman Speedo, their return to action in 2013 ended a mercifully brief implosion and fans have been lapping up the chance to relive seminal moments from records such as Scream, Dracula, Scream!, Group Sounds and more ever since.

The Irish shows see a slight reshuffle in RFTC's line-up and drummer Atom Willard returns temporarily behind the kit, while trumpet player JC 2000 sits this one out, marking a rare appearance of the Circa: Now! incarnation of the group. Miss this at your peril.

Tickets are onsale now and support is from the Schizophonics. We've even heard there'll be a super limited edition 7inch exclusively for sale too featuring the first new original RFTC songs written since the band reformed.
