who also plays most of instruments on I Wanna Be Covered. Few years ago
Stubgaard teamed up with songwriter-producer Michael Chaney to form
Tommy And The Rockets. I Wanna Be Covered has nine Ramones covers.
- I am not so interested anymore to publish records that has covers. But
Tommy And The Rockets has good and different style and songs are not too
self-evident of the Ramones songs. Like there is no Blitzkrieg Bop.
Tommy Stubgaard has been fan of the Ramones since he was 10 years old
and he is born in the same day when was published first Ramones album,
wrote me Hannu Jokinen of Woimasointu Records.
I Wanna Be Covered is limited to 500 copies. LP comes out in four
different colors (black, white, red and green) by Woimasointu Records (Finland), Roctobus Tea
Party (Spain), Monster Zero Records
(Austria), KOTJ Records
(Spain) and Rocket Launch Records (Denmark).
Promo letter tells that Tommy And The Rockets is armed with supremely
infectious melodies and harmonies to die for. Group offer guitar driven
rock 'n' roll that is sure to send the Summertime Blues scurrying back
under the sand for a while. Championing a style and an attitude that
screams pop not politics, Tommy And The Rockets guarantee fun, fun, fun.
If you're into The Ramones, Rockpile, The Beach Boys, and the whole
British invasion, this is the band for you.
