About
Rocket from the Tombs (or RFTT) was an American rock band originally active from mid-1974 to mid-1975 in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. The band featured David Thomas and was reconstituted several times with various line-ups starting in 2003.
The band was little known during its original run, although it was later heralded as an important protopunk group. Various members would achieve renown in Pere Ubu and the Dead Boys. Billy Bob Hargus wrote, "The sound of the Rockets is much more ferocious than Ubu or the Dead Boys."
