Rockwell

Rockwell is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Mutya Buena, Berry Gordy and Jermaine Jackson. Those roots explain a lot about how Rockwell arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Michael Sembello, The Jacksons, The Romantics, Laura Branigan and Irene Cara, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Cupcakes Taste Like Violence, Blinding Lights, DECO*27, Uppermost and Beatfreakz, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Rockwell, reaching back through Mutya Buena and forward to Cupcakes Taste Like Violence. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
