RFTC, Rocket from the Crypt's fifth album, came out on Interscope in 1998, their second go-round on a major label and the follow-up to Scream, Dracula, Scream! The San Diego outfit still had its full brass-loaded lineup: Speedo on lead vocals and guitar, ND on guitar, Petey X on bass, Atom on drums, Apollo 9 on saxophone and JC 2000 on trumpet.
It's punk rock with a horn section, all revved-up riffs, shouted gang choruses and brass blaring like a car alarm at closing time. "Break It Up" got a video and "Lipstick" got on the radio, and the reviews were kind. The sales, though, weren't what Interscope wanted, the label moved on to bigger earners, and the band walked away from the deal the next year. Atom left early in 2000, and the band never again worked at quite the same breakneck pace.
