Rocketeer are made up of two brothers, two cousins and one wild card. Hailing from the West Country, all are classically trained musicians; this is reflected in their arrangements and intelligent use of harmony and structure. They have come a long way since their formation in 2007, embarking on a rigorous campaign of gigging, cramming themselves onto countless stages of venues, town halls, festivals and pubs throughout the country. This has culminated in playing the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury as well as picking up support from Steve Lamacq (Radio 2), Tom Robinson (6Music) NME.com and Music Week.

In October 2011 they were invited to play the Sunday Night Sessions on BBC London 94.9 for Jo Good. The 4 track set and interview was a huge success, with both those in the studio and people at home commenting extremely positively on the musicianship, personality and lyrical content of the songs.
