Meet Rocky Armstrong – 50s & 60s Music Writer, Vinyl Archivist, and Keeper of the Original Groove
Rocky Armstrong doesn’t just write about oldies—he writes about what made them eternal. As 50s & 60s Music Writer at Go Cybernaut, Rocky spins stories with soul, tracing the roots of rock ’n’ roll, doo-wop, Motown, surf, soul, and the early pop sound that still shapes how we listen today.
His belief? That this era didn’t just make hits—it made history.
Rocky Armstrong brings vintage soul to the modern page, covering the timeless rhythms, rebellious crooners, and smooth harmonies of the 1950s and ’60s with a scholar’s insight and a showman’s flair. His work at Go Cybernaut revives the golden age of jukeboxes, sock hops, and vinyl cool through well-researched retrospectives, nostalgic storytelling, and artist deep-dives that capture the era’s rebellious spirit and cultural shifts.
His curated playlist, Rebel Radio 50s & 60s Summer, mirrors his writing style: full of swagger, charm, and sonic surprises. You’ll hear everything from Chuck Berry guitar riffs to girl group harmonies and twist-worthy beach anthems, all woven with Rocky’s appreciation for musical craftsmanship and cultural significance.
Personality-wise, Rocky is a one-of-a-kind blend of old-school charm and sharp wit. His sense of humor is dry and timeless—think vintage talk show host with a modern twist. Colleagues describe him as pleasant and thoughtful, with a tasteful eye for detail and a brilliant way of framing the past so it resonates with today’s audience. He’s also known for his unique perspective, often connecting musical movements of the past to contemporary trends in a way that feels both fresh and reverent.
At Go Cybernaut, Rocky collaborates closely with Sam Grayson (Music Editor), bouncing off ideas about genre evolution, and occasionally co-curates throwback features with Zoe Chen (Culture Editor). He also enjoys trading lyrical one-liners with Sharon Banks (Entertainment Editor), and offering playlist gems to Lani Cruz for retro-themed social posts. Rocky’s voice helps anchor Go Cybernaut’s musical archives with depth, humor, and timeless style.
Rocky’s origin story?
He was raised on jukeboxes and car radios, memorizing liner notes and learning harmony from family road trips. His first writing gig was a fanzine review of a Little Richard box set—and from there, the needle never left the groove. Now, he writes with heart, context, and a knack for making even deep B-sides feel like they were on your childhood playlist.
Rocky brings emotional intelligence and a storyteller’s rhythm to every piece. He knows these songs weren’t just tracks—they were moments for millions. He doesn’t just highlight the hits—he writes about the voices behind them, the rooms they recorded in, and the world that moved to the beat.
He sees music as memory—and writes to preserve both.
Outside the record stacks and playlists, Rocky is:
A vinyl purist with a soft spot for mixtapes
The one who can ID a song from the first three seconds of reverb
Big on liner notes, reissues, and music that still gives you chills
Always asking, “Where were you when you first heard this?”
Known to tear up during a perfectly placed key change
One detail that says everything:
Rocky keeps a worn list in his wallet titled “Songs That Saved Me.” It’s short. It’s sacred. It’s his compass.
When he’s not diving into doo-wop harmonies or uncovering deep cuts from the vinyl vault, Rocky Armstrong keeps the good times rolling in every sense of the word. A true retro soul with modern flair, he spends his off-hours roller skating, bowling with friends, and hunting down rare records to spin on his home setup. Rocky’s also the charismatic voice behind a nostalgic podcast that explores the stories behind classic tracks, often recorded with a cold craft beer in hand—he loves exploring the world of beer almost as much as he enjoys singing karaoke hits from the 60s. And wherever Rocky goes, his loyal beagle named Goofy is never far behind, always ready for a long walk or a lazy afternoon jam session.
Signature catchphrase?
“Let’s bring the needle back—this one still hits.”
His north star?
“Write it like it played. Let the music breathe. Keep the soul intact.”
