   About Bad Rackets

Punk Rock that actually rocks..Powerpop powered by snarling guitars and adolescent fury..Garage that's not retro, and faces forward with a fresh sneer of its own. 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.

Behind Bob’s slashing guitars and snot-powered vocals, stands a long history that includes recording with GG Allin (Carnival of Excess, Hated) and a Killed By Florida name-check.

Kevin’s howling vocals and throbbing bass lines have made their way through a 10+ year litany of Texas punk bands, including The Convulsions and The Lusties.

Tim’s powerhouse drumming carries the weight of more than a dozen years drumming in the barrooms of Austin with the likes of Victims of Leisure, Sore Losers, Barleypop, Daddy’s Drunk and Suburban Terror Project.

A true veteran guitar hero, Clint’s accomplishments are as recent as his stint in Houston’s Gun Crazy, and as distant as his teenaged audition for Austin icons MDC.

*** The Bad Rackets: a new Texas legend in the making. ***

Hey guys, Sorry for the cheesy "vote for my band" post, but we need some help!! Come see me again in Houston ~ Junie

Help **The Platforms** Burn Rubber Into Little Steven's Underground Garage!!

**The Platforms** were recently featured on the Goldie's Garage show in Little Steven's Underground Garage, on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 25. This was the fifth monthly show where 12 bands battle it out for votes to be considered the best new garage act on the planet.

We know these requests can be a drag BUT WE NEED **YOUR** HELP. Now, we're the only Texas band (so far) to be granted a VIP Parking Pass in Goldie's Garage!! Voting continues until April 4th on the Goldie's Garage website:
http://www. goldiesgarage. us/

PLEASE GO VOTE FOR THE PLATFORMS!! Winners from each monthly contest move on toward great prizes, including a record deal on Little Steven's Wicked Cool Records!

The Texas Democratic Primary is next Tuesday, we hope you'll join us in supporting Barack Obama for President!



Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton for 20+ years is not change. Real change will come with Obama. Can we initiate that change? Yes We Can!
