From the unassuming town of Abilene, TX, Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys brings a focused and mature sound to a sometimes uninspired national music scene. Dubbed ambient rock by their counterparts, the Rocketboys show a mastery of mood and subtlety ... the six-member group adorns singer Brandon Kinder's soaring melodies with clear, ringing guitars and full-bodied keyboard arrangements, hard-driving drumlines and well-practiced transitions between calm and controlled chaos (The Austin American-Statesman).

Since forming in January 2005,the Rocketboys have gone on several smaller regional tours, expanding their reach into the Midwest and Southern states. Most recently, the Rocketboys performed at Austin City Limits Festival after they won the Dell Lounges Sound and the Jury Contest. They have also played such festivals as Cornerstone Music and Arts Festival, Northgate Music Festival, and the South Padre International Music Festival.

The Rocketboys have released two studio EPs and one live DVD/CD package. South Plains EP was released in summer 2005 and showcases the early days of the band as they were establishing a songwriting niche. Live In Levelland -- which features a documentary of their first tour and a live performance -- was released in summer 2006 and portrays the bridge from their earlier days to their more recent compositions in Sing, Bird, Sing, the most recent EP by the Rocketboys. This new album represents most accurately the bands new music and is available at shows and on iTunes.

After almost three years, Abilene's Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys has blasted into the hearts of audiences across Texas and the Midwest.
