Press
"Brooklyn's latest top-shelf indie export" - Chaos Magazine
"Mark my words, you hear it here first, etc: You will be a fan of this band in the very near future" - Brooklyn Ski Club
"small band, big sound" -Dirty Fucking Hipster
"The supple sonic waves hark back cross the pond to Brit Invasion trailblazers the Troggs and Hollies, before their antecedents locked themselves in the garage and turned that soulful R&B rock sound raw." - Philadelphia Weekly
"Kurt may have passed on, but his style lives on in bands like Raccoon Fighter that blend hard-edged lyrics and melodies with a really emotive lead singer. Same goes for other pioneer bands that had similar-sounds, like The Pixies. One review called Raccoon Fighter “great, raw rock;” that’s damn right." - Bits and Watts
Guilt Free Pleasures "particularly tantalizing"
Turn Up The Sound "raw rock and roll"
"Drawing on influences including Iggie Pop, the Pretty Things, and the Rolling Stones, Raccoon Fighter has created a unique sound and secured its place in the burgeoning New York City indie music scene." -Eardrum NYC
