A power duo from Lille-France, Racket Corp blast a wild blend of Alternative Punk/Speed-Grunge. A sound rooted in the 80s & 90s: Rabid riffs, lightning-fast beats and shouted vocals melodies… Motörhead meet Nirvana!
Franck started the project as a one-man band in early 2017. His all-time friend Pierre joined in on drums duty the following year. Ever since, the two-piece have been making the hell of a racket and released several recordings on U.S. label Forbidden Place Records.
