Rocket McFlyy & the Free Radicals:
Jonathan ROCKET(!!!). Sirvantus Daniel McFLYY III. Let's digress. Black on black on black with black accents. Cool like the inside of Ice Man's shades. The kin folk fromMoTown. The Free RADiCALS. WTF is a Free RADiCAL ANYWAY?! Classic MoTown, Classic Rock&Roll. Hip-Hop. Rap. An epic groove blanketing lyrics of pure thought and emotional flow, bred by the brightest innovations and darkest corners of Detroit—wait…DETROIT? A colorful presence like a full moonlit midnight trained by a Dark Jedi Knightchanting militant ballads of GOD, love, sex, Rock & Roll, outer space, super heroes, DREAMWEAVER, and the connections between it all vividly spewed from the viewpoint of a crew on a mission to #KEEPMOViNGFORWARD (#KMF) and "Save The World."

What would that sound like…? Perhaps it would sound like ten years of fumbling different formats, incarnations,and sound fusions; picking up the chops necessary to not only write, produce, and develop for their own brand, but for other artists of any genre as well; all while seemingly aimlessly shaping a direction that, honestly… Most didn't think would work; the underdogs who have shifted towards the A-List of Detroit's underground music scene. Raised on everything from Motown, the last 20-30 years of "urban radio," Hip-Hop, Rap, Rock & Roll, Country, Alternative, and influenced by everything else they experience,({[ROCKET(!!!)McFLYY)]} has rocked some of Detroit's most renowned stages.SummerJAMZ, The Magic Stick, Hart Plaza, The Old Miami, Blondie's, The Music Hall,P.J.'s Lagerhouse, and The TrumbullPlex being some of the band's personal favorites, the thing they're now looking to do is expand to neighboring regions. They want to visit other cities; play in your city maybe…? Maybe rock a crowd that YOU'VE invited.

Alas, it would ill-behoove any of us to neglect the rightful and ecstatically delivered mention of their "live band of brethren," The Free RADiCALS. Let's just start with the color for the hell of it. Why not? Mr. Michael Moore. 30 YEARS of classically trained electric shredding raining down from Einstein's atheist Heavens. The guy in the room with the THOR-like locks and the gigantic Mjolnir axe whose facial expression on stage roars, "I have rocked my way up the corporate ladder and down the shitty side of indie road, so tell me about it." Or how about Mr. Brando Vick, the 24 year old wiz kid who fancies himself a geography nerd? Crazy thing is if you check out his APB map for places he's toured in his life, you'll see why his rhythmic musical styling sounds like he has had his ears on the groove of the entire world, and why hotties all over the globe call this guy the "cutie." No? Not your type of thing? Okay. Perhaps you prefer something with more of a rumble. Something that sounds like the ground is shaking with the air around you while militant pistols crack off in the midst of one vibrant and steady big man's Rocked & Rolled tribally driven war over "What is happening to the SOUL?!" Mhm. Yeah. Maybe that's more up your alley. And, no, he isn't called Brian, or BOOM, or BANG, or BLAOHW, or anything else you might assume from the loud bombing arsenal he so gracefully places just inside that spring in your neck that turns you into a fiending bobble-head when the breeze hits it. Nope. Before he sat down, this was just a drum set, and the name…? It's just B. As if you hadn't chosen a favorite already because the awesomeness couldn't possibly be more than this, they slap the entire left side of your body, with a T-Rex sized slab of straight GROOVE no less, into a massive adamantium wall of heartpounding bass line from so deep under the tracks that the stars stay wide awake to listen whilst the people sleep beneath the Motor City skyline. Oh yes. If you're lucky, this is not your first experience having your soul bounced around the inside of your bones by the cultivated thumping of Mr. J. Alexander Webb, or, as they and now much of the Rock City call him, JAWZ.

Also, in spite of what negative stigmas the last 40 years of music has put behind the term "Pop," the guys are comfortable with the fact that though their music is rock out loud, break the broken laws, censor if you dare, Emo, Hood, Arena Rock, it is a blend of sounds quite popular in commercial and underground music, so the masses calling their "new" sound Alternative Pop makes it that much easier to explain. 

Are you excited yet? Have you started imagining the dry-wall crumbling around you, the building folding under the awesome might of what society is now fervently searching for in their audio desires?
