Here's all our releases from 2025... We think it has been another stellar year for new music, and once again it has been very humbling to see Rocket albums pop-up into various end-of-year lists. Here are a few that we have seen: rocketrecordings.com/blogs/news/a... ...what was your favourite?

"Every time is a thrill, even now, many plays through. It is an extraordinary album." Amazing to see Smote's album 'Songs From The Free House' is Ninehertz Number 1 'Album The Year': www.ninehertz.co.uk/viewitem/5641

Have any Rocket friends ever worked with the Poster artist @posters.blumoo? I ask as we have paid a deposit for some poster art and was promised to see something on 14 October. Now two months later we have not received anything or receiving any replies to any emails we send? All very strange?
