In
his off time, Brandon Johnson can be found playing
with his 2 bands ILL
ROCKET and THE
PROGRESS. Brandon’s the
drummer and founding member of ILL ROCKET.
ILL ROCKET is:
Nick Brigden -
Vox/Guitars, Chunka Whyel -
Bass, Brandon Johnson -
Drums, Gabe Whyel - Lead
Guitar.
Originally created by Nick Brigden and Brandon Johnson in early 2003,
ILL ROCKET has now blasted on to the NYC music scene in full force.
Chunka and Gabriel Whyel complete the package as the foursome fuses
together intense/aggressive rock with melodic hooks that stick in the
brain and assimilate listeners. ILL ROCKET consistently pushes the
envelope toward evolving the effect that music can have on
one’s soul. The experiment never ends and all are welcome.
Listen to a couple of tunes here.

hard rockin' ILL Rocket, THE PROGRESS stacks exciting tunes on a
dynamic, high energy live show that is not to be missed! THE PROGRESS'
