Rock & Roll Rumble 2024 is pleased to announce that Halfcocked will join us on Saturday, May 4 as our very special guest for Rumble Finals at Sonia (formerly TT The Bear’s) in Cambridge.
Welcome to HC/M6 – translation Halfcocked Mach 6. Formed in 1997, the band known as Halfcocked barreled out of the Boston rock scene like being shot from a cannon, signed to Boston independent record label Curve Of The Earth, and set out to make a name for themselves on the strength of their glam-inspired good time Rock and Roll songs. With two independent releases, 1998’s Sell Out and Operation: Rock Star from 2000, they joined the ranks of Boston’s best loud bands, with Quintaine Americana, Roadsaw, and Rock City Crimewave among the list of contemporaries.
As 1999 WBCN Rock & Roll Rumble finalists, Halfcocked were the very first band to be a “wildcard” in the then-twenty year history of the Rumble.
