John, Michael and Mark had been lifelong friends, two guitarists and a singer, who had played together many times before taking to the stage late in 2016 for the first time. Jonny completed the lined up for The Racketeers having previously played guitar for Ooops!, a punk band that recorded under Terri Hooleys Good Vibrations label back in the early 2000's. This time as the drummer / additional guitarist.
Originally playing covers, The Racketeers soon took to writing their own tracks, an amazing fusion of rock, power pop, folk rock and contemporary rock. The first tracks 'Midnight' and 'Last Night' were quickly followed by an albums worth of material all of which will be recorded soon.
With passionate and entertaining live shows, The Racketeers are fast becoming the band to see on the local gig circuit....
