Reagan Era Rocketship

In true garage band style, the band recorded a 16-track demo entitled The Backroom - A Self-Recorded Demo. A year later, the band released a shorter self-recorded demo and took their act on the road. Spectacular receptions and screaming encores encouraged the band to take their music to the next step.

In February of 2007, The Backroom began recording at Strobe Recordings in Chicago under the direction of producer Jon Williams. The final tracks of their debut album, Reagan Era Rocketship, were laid in June of that year and a launch date of 07.07.07 was set. The Backroom continues to rock the Chicagoland area with their signature brand of velveteen smooth power-pop.
