We’re really taking all of our past experiences and ending with a really well polished product that is Model Rockets.įletcher Dunham: Andrew and Joey have been a blessing in the sense that, they are on the same level of Ryan and I on how seriously we take our band. Interpersonally, we really connect and I really believe this is our best foot forward. Tell me a little bit about the new band dynamic.Īndrew Cappuzzello: We all have different strengths and we have a solid lineup that I think musically we gel really well together. Model Rockets is the start of us moving towards a more refined sound, and we’re going for more of a Weezer or The Killers kinda rock and roll vibe. We moved towards a more refined sound, and I didn’t want to be associated with punk music anymore. Our old stuff was a bit more pop punky, and we started off sounding a lot like Blink-182.
The two EP’s that we made, I decided I wanted to branch out from that sound quite a bit.
Tell me about the evolution of your music from Colorblind to Model Rockets.įletcher Dunham: Colorblind we started in high school. Now we’re Model Rockets, and we kinda cleaned up a little bit and plan to put our best foot forward. I think now that we’ve all reached new parts of our lives with graduating, and me being recently married and things like that, Colorblind is kind of graduating as a whole. The model rocket can still fly if you put the effort and you put the care and love into building it.Īndrew Cappuzzello: It’s kinda nice too, because I think as a band we are growing and evolving in terms of the style of music we’re playing and the types of songs we’re making. As well as I like the idea of a model rocket in the sense that, you can be a beat up, crappy model rocket but still fly. I like the idea of the childhood wonder and imagination of a child playing with a model rocket, and dreaming of space and being an astronaut. Tell me about the meaning behind the name Model Rockets.įletcher Dunham: I came up with the name Model Rockets for a couple of different reasons. We started getting tagged in Facebook events and shows that we weren’t a part of, and it got real old getting confused with other bands. There are actually a lot of other bands called Colorblind and they are all starting to be active right now. Why did you decide to change from Colorblind to Model Rockets?įletcher Dunham: So, I think we first started toying around with the idea for a name change a year ago. I sat down with members Fletcher Dunham and Andrew Cappuzzello to talk all about the new name, new sound and new music video the band just released. In fact, they’ve been touring the area for the last couple years under the name ‘Colorblind.’ The band currently includes Fletcher Dunham on vocals and rhythm guitar, Ryan Betts on lead guitar, Joey Devitto on bass and Andrew Cappuzzello on drums.
