Nikki & The Skyrockets Follow-Up Impressive Debut

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Nikki & The Skyrockets

It was 2023 when we introduced you to Nikki & The Skyrockets out of Jersey City. Now the band has released the eponymous follow-up to its impressive Late Last Night debut. Singer-Songwriter-Guitarist Nicole Bozzuto is a force to be reckoned with. Bassist Paul Grossman and guitarist-composer Sid Whelan stick to her like a second skin (with back-up vocalists Erika Bracy/Chrissy Roberts, drummer Robert Weiss and organist Jerry Z). They veer recklessly between punk, Americana, ‘90s alt-pop, reggae, instant classic rock, emo, retro and folk-rock. But don’t take our word for it, hear it for yourself below.
