about
Punk Rock that actually rocks..Powerpop powered by snarling guitars and adolescent fury..Garage that's not retro, and faces forward with a fresh sneer of its own. Melodies written at the altar of The Ramones and The Buzzcocks, guitar echoes of Cheetah Chrome and Johnny Thunders, and a rhythm section that could’ve belonged to The Damned or The Saints. Behind Bob’s slashing guitars and snot-powered vocals, stands a long history that includes recording with GG Allin (Carnival of Excess, Hated) and a Killed By Florida name-check. Kevin’s howling vocals and throbbing bass lines have made their way through a 10+ year litany of Texas punk bands, including The Convulsions and The Lusties. Tim’s powerhouse drumming carries the weight of more than a dozen years drumming in the barrooms of Austin with the likes of Daddy’s Drunk and Suburban Terror Project. A true veteran guitar hero, Clint’s accomplishments are as recent as his stint in Houston’s Gun Crazy, and as distant as his teenaged audition for Austin icons MDC. The Bad Rackets: a new Texas legend in the making. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
