Rockit Fly - Breakout

[martinsane]

Well shut my mouth. If you don't like this I think your dumb.

 

 

The bands debut can be had here for a paltry $15 buxx, sheesh.

Not shocking that no one is looking at this but the song really is a corker, your loss.

Thanks man, I honestly don't read every post. Lazily I only tend to look at the most recent posts feed and I probably miss a lot. 

Me like.

If I haven't put words in a thread it just means I haven't go to it yet, but yeah, this is cool. I'd be interested to hear the album. Solid "old school" sound.

What is a rockit fly?

[Captain Howdy]

I like it. Vocally he reminds me of Michael Starr mixed with someone else who I can't quite put my finger on.

Just checked out their webstore and it is the same one used by Gunshine. Square site.

When I enter my address to see how much the postage is (and yeah I know its gonna be more than the CD itself), it does exactly the same as the Gunshine store and says there is a problem with the address. Considering it is auto filled when you start typing your address there is either a bug with the site or they don't do international shipping.

So guess that is another album I won't be able to buy.

That is ridiculous. I would expect to pay about £25 or so from the USA these days, £38 is a joke. What did they do, send it by golden eagle surrounded by angels?

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Yeah, I'm not fully corked. I'm kinda getting tired of this style of vocals. The drummer's got a great sound, though. I'll def check out the full album.

I'd love to give it a listen, but sadly, I wasn't invited to.

I've never felt so betrayed.

You're not missing out. I listened to the other song they have on the Spotifies... it was pretty bad.

I thought as much, considering the source.  

It's just nice to be included.

Yeah it was ridiculous, I used birthday money I received for me 50th  it just came in a plain bubble envelope...signed though...it was $40 dollars all in direct from the band... had to paypal em  

I see one for sale on ebay atm..its £33..plus £12.50 postage...then you'll get hit with an import charge before you get it...unreal...our hobby is being priced out slowly but surely

Earlier this year I bought the Mother Rockers CD direct from the band who are in Canada.

For CD and postage they charged me $20 cad. Thats just over £12.

I am really not sure how the US postal system works as it is totally different to what we are used to in the UK, but their pricing seems to be all over the place depending on who you order from. I expect that a big company like Amazon gets a reduction in charges so can offer cheaper postage, but I ordered a blu ray from a market place seller on the US siter early last year and the postage was only $5.39 and charged $4 import fee. I know a lot of market place sellers don't ship outside the US on the American site as I think Amazon caps what they can charge in postage, which makes them actually lose out on postage.

That said, a friend in the US picked up a blu ray for me from Walmart (I think it was) as it was exclusive to them and they don't ship internationally, and she said postage for something that size and weight was around $12 and did not charge import fees.

If one person can send something a bit bigger than a CD for $12 I do not understand why some people charge $20 to $25. Maybe they are restricted with what services they can use.

And how can someone from Canada send something for a fraction of that price?
