Rocket boy 55 was founded in 2002, based out of Waukesha, WI, the band spawned from the dismissal of Rob De Angelis from his former band Johnny Toymaker: " I never want to put that much work in to a band and get kicked out again, so I'm starting my own band." One week from his exit from Johnny Toymaker, the 55 was born. Soon after, the idea of what the 55 was to become came to him. An Indie/punk band with a sound like nothing you've ever heard before. The 55 is Influenced by bands such as At the Drive-in,Thursday , Sparta, Braid, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, Alkaline Trio, Sunny Day Realestate, Paramore, Sunday Flood , Jimmy Eat World and many more, we have created our own destinctive sound . Rocket Boy 55 has had its share of lineup changes, but its sound and direction have never wavered. Rocket Boy 55 is Rob DeAngelis(Guitar, Vocals), Lucas Cleary (Drums) Angie Wilke (Keys) Darryl Kuyper (Guitar, Vocals) and Shane Peterson (Bass, Vocals ) together they will rock you to the core.
