A high-voltage power duo from Lille, in the north of France, Racket Corp blast a wild Alternative Punk / Speed-Grunge sound rooted in the 80s & 90s: Rabid riffs, lightning-fast beats and fiery shouted vocals… 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.

“The sound of industrial machinery layered over punk compositions.” (Turbo Nun Entertainment)
“Sounds like Punk and early Grunge with style…” (Street Kompass) “An apt name, they certainly know how to make some noise!” (GBHBL) “Explosive, relentless and liberating!” (Les 4 écluses)
