Rockets To Ruin, Biography

Rockets To Ruin’s raw, uncompromising sound slaps conformity in the face, reaching out to a generation lusting after the glory days of rock n’ roll. Loud, energetic, and fun is their approach to songwriting. Energy and attitude is their approach to the stage. They don't believe their lives are bad or that life is unfair. Instead, they believe in the power of rock n’ roll…and it shows! With a non-stop buzz developing, Rockets To Ruin has made its mark on fans of this music, and the numbers are growing daily.


The band is based in Atlanta, GA and was formed by singer Cleveland Willis and original guitarist Mike Grimmett. They soon met bassist Chris Taylor through a mutual friend and recruited friend Rob Hammersmith for Drums. In 2010 the band went through a line up change…. Rob left the band to become the new Drummer for Skid Row and Keith Horne joined as the new Guitar player.

Rockets To Ruin continues with a busy live schedule throughout the Southeastern U.S., and the buzz is growing. This high-powered, guitar-driven rock n' roll band is set to inspire a defiant rock-deprived generation that is ready for a 360-spin from the mainstream corporate numbness currently dominating the nation’s airwaves. RTR has performed with artists as diverse as Paul Stanley (KISS), Dark New Day, Powerman 5000, Crossfade, Nashville Pussy, Seemless, Fu Manchu, Josh Todd (Buckcherry), Valiant Thorr, Skid Row, Cinderella, Zoroaster, Supagroup, Georgia Satellites, and Theo & the Skyscrapers to name a few. The song “Gotta Go, Gotta Roll” was chosen by ESPN for their ’08 NASCAR promos.
