Israeli psych rock quartet RockFour are tough to pigeon-hole. Formed in the Tel Aviv suburb of Holon, they began playing together during military service, and developed a repertoire of original songs in Hebrew and English. Tipping their berets to the Moody Blues, Teardrop Explodes and The Zombies, RockFour convincingly married The Byrds & Bowie, updating it with 21st century panache. In 2000, four albums in, RockFour made the controversial switch to English lyrics – which immediately catapulted them onto the international scene and branded them Israel’s finest (following <link?> Minimal Compact’s <link?> temporary European success) rock export. And they haven’t let up: RockFour is now well on it’s way to conquering the world with a unique brand of neo-psychedelia and progressive pop. It’s a mix that works: Rock Four have sold over 30,000 records in the Middle East and Europe.
2001 was the year RockFour caught the eyes and ears of the North American media. Rolling Stone Magazine critic Richie Unterberger chose ONE FANTASTIC DAY (Third-Ear Records) as one of his Top 10 albums of the year; both the New York Times and the New York Press hyped their live show and the band went on to be featured on the nationally broadcasted NPR radio show, “All Things Considered.” Over on the west coast it was the LA Times and Under The Radar that raved about the band.

This band is the greatest alternative, neo-psychedelia band ever in the world! The music is not all about The Byrds, mind... it has a deep connection to the early Israeli psychedelic, and progressive rock starts of bands like The Churchill's and artists like Arik Enistein and Shalom Chanouch which they covered a whole album (Shablol) by them.

very very much reminiscent of the Byrds without being derivative. =)
