Artist Of The Week: The Racket
Our Artist Of The Week is The Racket!
They are a four-piece indie rock band from Widnes. Their songs are powerful, energetic and politically charged, with an attitude. Liverpool Noise said that “Live, the band is a swirling, frenetic, cascade of energy, more speed than weed, they own any stage they set foot on – totally – and bristle with power.”
Listen to their latest single, ‘Why Are You Watching Me?’ here:
‘Why Are You Watching Me?’ is loud, explosive and edgy, and will certainly excite listeners. It’s also a proven fan favourite following their 12-date support tour with Lottery Winners in autumn. Its catchy melody and huge chorus is something that will make the song easily syncable and radio-friendly.
Songwriter Callum says: “This has always been a fun song to play, it’s probably one of the most guitar-driven songs we have recorded yet. The song is about 1984 and the dystopian present day we live in, but we have gone about this in a more light-hearted way.”
Producer Jonathan Tringham says: “We focused a lot of time on capturing the sounds that had the most convincing energy, this is definitely the most exciting song the lads have put out so far.”
