Holy Racket

 

     

 

Somewhere in Thailand are youngsters wearing Holy Racket t-shirts...i know that because Zat ,the singer and bass player told me that they sell them everywhere they go, and this lot are a better export than brown ale, they have played bleedin everywhere..Judith charmers doesn’t have the air miles that this lot have!!

It is easy to see why they appeal to the worldwide punksters, blazing into their set of what at first sound like punk standards, then you realize ,its the feel of the music you recognise, not the songs. The heart and soul of 70s punk is here, it hasn’t been recreated, its transplanted into the uncannily young looking bodies of the racketeers, who tear through a set that has to appeal to the fans of the pistols to green day, get up there, pogo till you drop, this is real live music!!
