about
One of Australia’s finest exponents of psychedelic-garage-punk, Rocket Science have announced the release of their first new music since 2019, with the single ‘Agitation’ due out Thursday August 3rd via the band’s new home, Cheersquad Records & Tapes.
Delving into and delighting in post-everything nihilism, this first taste from Rocket Science's forthcoming album ‘Push Play’ is a bitter morsel.
‘Agitation’ is a litany of grievances, a shit list of actions, provocations, situations, and locations, was born of a howl into the void, a desperate dream shout, the kind that you want to shake you, out of the consumer, colonial dream, and into a new reality. A positive, wakeful now.’ Rocket Science
Do the ‘Agitation' with Rocket Science. Let's move, shudder, and shake together on dystopian dancefloors!
Formed in mid ‘98, Rocket Science will not only release their sixth studio album ‘Push Play’ in 2023, but this year also marks a major milestone as the band celebrate their 25th Anniversary. Recorded at A Secret Location Sound Recorders, Naarm (Melbourne), and produced by Paul Maybury and Rocket Science, the 12-track opus due for release late September is yet another truly collaborative work from the band, and is proof Rocket Science are back, tougher, wilder, and sharper than ever!
lyrics
Agitation, agitation
For your attention, your attention
Flagellation, self-flagellation
Provication, it's a provication
Motivation, your motivation
Your religion, it's fabrication
Calculation, the calculations
Complications, complications
Agitation, agitation, agitation, agitation - go
Graduation, annihilation
Elevation, destination
Your religion, it's fabrication
Fabrication, it's fabrication
Dedication, agitate you
Obfuscation, infatuation
Congratulations, complication
Triangulation of your location
Agitation, agitation, agitation, agitation
Generation, the generation
Fabrication, a fabrication
Deglamation, etagitation
Education, re-aducation
Congregation, re-aducation
Annihilation, disposition
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh
