Studio CarryOnHarry : The vibrant indie pop ensemble, Rocket Kings, is back with their eagerly awaited sophomore album, ‘Paving The Way,’ featuring 12 original tracks that promise to be a delightful musical journey. The band has unveiled the album with a fun-filled video for the title track, providing a taste of what listeners can expect.
Formed in 2016, Rocket Kings comprises five talented musicians: Dave Stewart (ukulele, vocals), Bex Crossland (vocals, ukulele), David Heath (drums), Jess Tuthill (ukulele, vocals), and Yoshiko Nakayama (bass). United by their passion for music, the band exudes infectious positivity through their upbeat, original pop-rock compositions. With three ukuleles in their lineup, along with bass and drums, Rocket Kings have redefined ukepop, offering a unique sound that’s unlike anything else.
‘Paving the Way’ was recorded, engineered, mixed, and mastered at Creative Control Studio in Bracknell by Josh McCrohan, who has played a pivotal role in shaping Rocket Kings’ sound. Dave Stewart produced the album in collaboration with McCrohan, a seasoned producer known for his work with renowned artists like Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull, Echo & The Bunnymen, Squeeze, Paul Young, and Fairport Convention, among others.
Dave Stewart, a core member of the band, shared his excitement about the album, saying, “We are really excited to share this album with people. It is chock full of Rocket Kings signature sounds and, as with our first album, these 12 songs are laden with top tunes and harmonies. The overall sound is perhaps a little more rocky this time around, and we regularly use overdrive and phaser pedals. We even have trumpet on a couple of tracks.”
One of the notable aspects of ‘Paving the Way’ is the collaborative approach to song arrangements, reflecting the band’s growth and cohesion. Stewart added, “The song arrangements were more collaborative this time around, partly because we feel like we are all playing better than ever as a band and we feed off each other with creative ideas. Also partly because the band found themselves with time to meet up just after Covid without gigs to practice for. Amongst other things, there are songs about space (a regular theme for the band), yellow birds, missing museums, faithful dogs, tall tales and the Berlin Wall.”
‘Paving the Way’ is a follow-up to Rocket Kings’ 2021 album ‘Everyday Adventures,’ and it showcases the band’s diverse musical influences, ranging from Teenage Fanclub, Lou Reed, and The Kinks to The Wedding Present, Status Quo, and The La’s. The band recently treated fans to a series of demos from 2016, titled ‘Intense Whirlwind.’
The album ‘Paving the Way’ is now available digitally and on limited edition vinyl and CD via Bandcamp. Fans can also stream the album on popular platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.

Bohemia, NY, September 17, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Music, Science, and Storytelling Unite to Reboot Human Connection
New Anthem “15th to 50th” Reminds Us We’re All Cousins—And Why That Perspective Could Change Everything
What if the person standing next to you wasn’t a stranger, but family? Educator and media innovator Dr. Bernie Furshpan believes it’s not just poetic, it’s a scientific fact. His new movement, 15th to 50th, launches with a powerful music video anthem reminding us that nearly everyone alive today is related within just 15 to 50 generations.
The timing couldn’t be more urgent. “The world has gone mad,” says Dr. Furshpan. “We are more divided than ever, and it’s time to swing the pendulum the other way. When people understand that the air we breathe contains molecules from millions of years ago, and that the atoms in our DNA are as old as the universe itself, it changes how we see each other. We stop looking for enemies and start seeing cousins.”
The anthem, released free to the public, blends the science of genetics with the storytelling power of music. It pulls audiences down a rabbit hole—one where the further you go, the clearer it becomes that the divisions we cling to are illusions. At our core, humanity is a massive extended family.
Dr. Furshpan, already known for his groundbreaking Holocaust education work and the acclaimed documentary The Weight of Memory: I Am Bernie Furshpan, says the project is meant to recalibrate our worldview. “This song is more than a melody. It’s a rallying cry for empathy, for tolerance, for kinship. We’ve tried hatred, separation, and fear. It hasn’t worked. Let’s remind ourselves who we truly are – family.”
The project will expand into schools, corporate workshops, and live events. Merchandise, educational kits, and speaking engagements will sustain the initiative, but the video and message remain free for the world.
