The Bad Rackets are a band from Austin, TX. Formed in October of 2004, they've been gigging steadily around Texas at clubs in Austin, Houston and San Antonio among others. Their sound is cheap beer sizzling on hot vacuum tubes; 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.

They released their debut CD, Full-On Blown Apart on Mortville Records during SXSW 2006. They completed recording their second album in the summer of 2007 and are currently mixing it and shopping for a label to release in early 2008.
