From Lo-Fidelity Records: “I’ve been putting records back into the world for a long time now. Some because I was asked to. Some because they were/are favorites of mine. And some because they never really left the people who heard them the first time.

Rocket and a Bomb fits all of these criteria.

This is Michael Knott at his most locked-in as a storyteller. It was not the loud, chaotic, full-band Knott most people expected. This was him writing about the strange, broken, funny, and very real people who surrounded him when he was living in Hollywood. Junkies. Neighbors. Lost souls. Friends. Himself. The whole thing plays like a stack of short films set to music. It’s messy, human, sometimes hilarious, sometimes brutal, and somehow still full of grace.

When this record appeared, it didn’t fit neatly anywhere. It wasn’t CCM. It wasn’t alternative rock in the way people wanted it packaged. It just existed in its own strange little orbit…and over the years it quietly became one of the Knott records people kept coming back to. The one they mentioned in emails. The one they asked about at shows. The one they didn’t forget.

So, let’s bring Rocket and a Bomb back properly.

Not as nostalgia. Not as a quick repress. But as a careful, fully-realized reissue for the people who’ve lived with this album for decades…and for the ones who are just now discovering how deep Michael’s catalog really goes.

If you already know this record, you know why it matters.
If you don’t, you’re about to find out.”
