The Rocketz

Can't Buy Me Love digital single

(Generation X-Ray Records)



This adheres closely to the Lennon/McCartney original, though it's infused with enough upright-and-twang prominence to be in line with the band's identity
. This writer is not a Beatles fan (and Rockat Barry Ryan essayed a similar interpretation of this song in 2008), but acknowledges quality material. The Rocketz may be seeking to expand their grasp.
