Nashua, NH // May 13, 2015 – Electronic pop-punk act Rocket Ship Resort has joined forces with our partners AltSounds to exclusively premiere their first single “Mistress Magic”! The single is off their upcoming EP Megaheart, slated to hit the streets on June 5th. Fluidly weaving smooth vocals over pop-punk melodies and electronic beats, Rocket Ship Resort hooks imagination and emotion with a fiery passion of unabashed energy.
“I wrote Mistress Magic to sound like a masterful showman with a thousand spotlights spinning in rhythm with the wind,” says creator Skye Meredith. “The song is about a magician, highly skilled in his practice, who falls in love with a girl who is truly made of magic. It’s kinda sexy, quite playful, very firey and maybe even a little Jackson-y if you’re keeping score.”

Pulling in elements from a broad range of genres and inspiration, Rocket Ship Resort breaks barriers blending pop-punk, J-POP and electronic elements including sounds and inspiration from video-games and anime; combined, it goes beyond music, creating a full user-experience.
“I wanted to write lyrics that vocalize the most powerful personal experiences I’ve had over the past few years,” said Skye, of Megaheart as a whole. “Homelessness, hopeless romantic-ness, fighting the gender paradigm, buckling under loss – all under the lens of stories I wanna tell with a grin as they go. I’ve never worked harder on the instruments and production in my life, and I set out to make melodies that make you wanna throw a fist in the air and a fuck yeah! from the rooftops… and listen to for a long time, picking out new subtleties, movements, and sounds each time around.”
Rocket Ship Resort’s music, passion and image have been capturing the likes of industry leaders, including Yoshisha Hashimoto (director of SEGA) whose support encouraged Naoto Ohshima (creator of Sonic and NiGHTS) and Gashi-Gashi (Adventure Time) to create guest artwork.
