Typical of a sharp sense of humor as vibrant as his lead vocals and bright harmonies, charismatic Skyrocket Love frontman Jeremy Bassett likes to say that he’s “the guy with the vocal ability to win over all women and men and even some farm animals big and small.”  <br /><br />The jury is still out on the barnyard critters, but the band’s fan base has grown at an incredible pace since Bassett and keyboardist, co-writer and Skyrocket Love co-founder Merritt Graves began playing gigs in their adopted hometown of L.A. in late 2009. Influenced by such artists as The Killers, Daughtry, Muse and OneRepublic, Skyrocket Love has received over 200,000 plays on terrestrial and internet radio. Skyrocket Love has been using internet tools to build a following and have been called “America’s answer to U2 and Coldplay” by RockLinks.co.uk. <br /><br />With the highly anticipated release of their 13 track self-titled debut album, the band—whose lineup includes lead guitarist Russell Nelson, bassist Curtis Corwin and drummer Jeff Maddox—is expanding beyond its roots at L.A. hotspots like Busby’s East (Mile High Club) and Paladino’s for a 20-plus date spring tour that will take them throughout California, up the West Coast to Portland and Seattle and to Boise, Las Vegas and Phoenix.
