“Musically just a beast of a track” - Never Mind The Hype
“Heavy and gritty: as alternative rock should be!” - Big Takeover Magazine
“Raw, intoxicating grunge rock that sounds like it could have feasibly stepped right out of the genre’s 1990s heyday” - GigRadar
“Possibly the heaviest and best Pop song in decades” - LA Arts
Rockford is everything a rock band should be. Borrowing heavily from Seattle grunge legends Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Alice In Chains, this three-piece from the rainy and damp lowlands town of Klundert, Netherlands is a step forward for heavy, grinding, slow-riffing detuned Stoner rock that’s as Pop as The Beatles. One listen to their songs and you’ll be singing their lyrics unknowingly.
Named after singer/guitarist Niels Schmitz’ birthplace in the USA, Rockford recorded their forthcoming label debut BROKEN RECORDS (out early 2022) on analog tape with Patrick Delabie at his legendary Recording Studio 195 in Wernhout, Netherlands.
