History

Based out of Santa Barbara, CA, Stomprocket's sound is comprised of hard rock roots, laden with metal guitar riffs and topped with pop influenced, yet aggressive, vocals. Over the years they have received airplay on over 20 major radio stations across the Unites States from New York to San Francisco as well as a few overseas (KJEE, KIST, WFNY, KITS, WKRK, 104.6 in Karlsruhe, Germany, to name only a few) and performed up and down the West Coast from Palm Springs to San Francisco alongside acts such as the Ataris, Sugarcult (whose first show featured Bob-E of Stomprocket on the drums), Snot, the Atomic Punks, 8 Stops 7, and many more.

In 2005, their song "Lost in Me" received the award for best guitars in Alternative metal of all time on garageband.com, beating out thousands of other songs in that genre (that same year, they also climbed to #3 highest rated song overall in that genre). Their new CD, "Inside Out" is available now.
