Rocket Fuel Is The Key are an American noise rock band from Kansas City, Missouri, United States.
Rocket Fuel Is The Key formed in early 1994 when guitarist Scott McNearney moved to Kansas City with the desire to start a music career.
[1] After bringing in Ed Przychodzki on drums and Vic Denson on bass guitar, the lineup for the band was finished six months later.
Following the creation of a demo and extensive touring the band they were approached by a New York label to record their debut album.
Distractions got in the way of the search for a new label and the band split ways in 1998 with Denson joining the band Cotton, Johnson playing with Frogpond, Onward Crispin Glover and Shots Fired and McNearney moving to Austin, Texas and starting Vegas Amateur and Corruption Is King.
