World Racketeering Squad are Reed Oliver and Isaac Priestley and Bruce Chandler. Reed sings and plays bass guitar. Isaac sings and plays guitar and keyboards. Bruce plays drums. Together we create rock and roll pop music from the future.

Located in Austin, Texas, we have been playing together since August of 2007. We write songs about love, girls, science, dinner parties, angels, quantum mechanics, and girls.

Contact us with questions, gig offers, marriage proposals or just to tell us anything you feel like telling us.

Our live shows include Reed on bass, Isaac on guitar or keyboards, Bruce Chandler on drums, and everyone on vocals. Our longer sets focus on bright, catchy electric rock/pop with a creamy acoustic set included.

We blend rock and roll, danceable pop and funk, mellow bossa nova and other jazz styles with a positive, upbeat outlook and strong melodies and vocal harmonies.

Come see World Racketeering Squad live and you'll be humming the fast, catchy chorus of "Panic", dancing to the raunchy funk of "Screwed You", grooving along with the soulful blues of "Hoarse Angel", or having your mind blown by the driving power of "Electromagnetic Pulse" and the epic "Omega in Love Versus the Supermonsters". One thing is for sure: you will leave happy.
