Three brothers who usually get along

PRESS

"Fist-pumping momentum is at the soul of this band of brothers, a musical spirit they share with contemporaries like Vampire Weekend and Franz Ferdinand... The band traces its admitted love for dance-rock and its obvious inclination toward scruffy, guitar-driven anthems"

--Joe Nickell of The Entertainer

"The six-song collection is a pretty little package of glittery melodies, solid hooks, bouncy rhythms and yearning whoa-oh-ohs."

-- Erika Fredrickson of The Independent
"The Racquet was a lot of fun to watch... subtle hints of dance music that added a little spice."
-- Andrea Williams of CheckItOutMusic.com
"Budding pop rockers"

-- The Badlander"The Racquet, three brothers based in Missoula, released its debut EP in May, which garnered radio play from Oregon to New York. The EP has caught the attention of promoters throughout the Northwest and landed them their first tour with more dates to follow."--BoZone Info
Record Label: not at the moment
