  • Limited Edition Debut EP 'Ready or Not'.
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    RACKETT release their debut EP - Ready or Not. The EP features five tracks; BATS, Mama don't like him, Prey, Your Son and the title track Ready or Not.

    Packaged by Mi-Wallet, this one of a kind, EP sleeve, is made entirely from up-cycled materials. Each sleeve is completely unique, hand-made and environmentally friendly.

    The EP has been described by Rolling Stone Magazine as;

    "Ready Or Not is the perfect sampler of the quartet’s unique trashy-pop sound; swaggering (“Bats”), swooning (“Prey”) and evoking sing-a-longs via the instantly catchy, snarling title-track closer. Sandwiched between this trio of previously released tracks, the quartet serve up disses of deadshit blokes from two different perspectives — as a direct character assassination (“Mama Don’t Like Him”) and taking the longer way ’round, laying blame at the parents on the harrowing “Your Son”. The latter being the standout on this diverse and impressive debut, delicately shifting from self-pity to empowerment, while blending humorous snipes (“did you treat him like a puppy?“) with unflinching jabs (“your son is a con, your son is a bad one, and I wonder where he got it from”)."

    Recorded and produced by Dave Hammer at Def Wolf Studios (Sydney), and mastered by Brain Lucey (USA).

BATS in my window, SPIDERS in my window sill. The sun is going down; bad spirits. SMOKE like a chimney, BLAZING up the field. Twenty a'day man, I'm the real deal. I'm only smoking! What?!? Ahh oohhhhh WHO? Ahh oohhhhh WHO? RATS in the walls, HANGING on in gangs. CHEWING through the wires, FEEDING on the waste, HEY! Yeah we're BLAZING up the sun, it's a catatonic MESS and I'll miss today's DEATHS cause I don't read the PRESS. I'm already choking! Ahh oohhhhh WHO? Ahh oohhhhh WHO?

Mama Don't Like Him 03:17
lyrics
buy track
My man is a mess! My man is useless. All he dies is drink and cuss. My men's many women, calling at 2am. Wondering when he'll be back. He can be found down at the race track. Mama don't like him. Daddy don't like him. He's got a bad reputation and a lack of education. Even the dog don't like him. My brother wanna kill him. But I'm my knees, strictly devotee. Singing Ahhh ahh ahh ahh. My guy is a ghost. As loose as a post-it note. Blowing his load and go. it's oh so typical. My man is a criminal on the run. Looking out for no.1 And my mama don't like him. Daddy don't like him. He's got a bad reputation and a lack of education. Even the dog don't like him. My brother wanna kill him. But I'm my knees, strictly devotee. Singing Ahhh ahh ahh ahh. D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S His disease is D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S And he push my patience D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S Please release me And my mama don't like him. Daddy don't like him. He's got a bad reputation and a lack of education. Even the dog don't like him. My brother wanna kill him. But I'm my knees, strictly devotee. Mama don't like him. Daddy don't like him. He's got a bad reputation and a lack of education. Even the dog don't like him. We belong in the bin. But I'm my knees, strictly devotee. Mama don't like him.

Prey 02:59
lyrics
buy track
There is a frog in a skin of poison And a shark with a hammer head A worm that pretends to be a tongue And a snake who ate his body weight A bird of prey with curiosity A plane raid by a locust plague A creature from the depths with electric legs And I bet you've got a range of senses To There is a giant leech with vampire teeth A parasit team in synchronicity A seemingly fine serrated vine And a fish with a light instead of an eye A termite site one hundred stories high A feathered flight that swallowed the sky Whales don't kill but dolphins do And I bet you've got a range of sense To In you're arms In your web Is your kiss Venomous Like Ohhhh I'm prey for you at the bottom of the chain for you credits

Your Son 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Your son, has issues, with girls, like me. Did you treat him like a puppy? Did you rot his teeth? I'm a nice girl, from a good home, don't let him take it out on me. He says he's innocent I see the violence in his eyes. Your son is a con, your son is a bad one. And I wonder where he got it from? Your son, your little angel, has issues, with me. But as long as I'm alive, I'll survive, you'll see. Was he a good boy, from a good home, did you fall at his feet? He says his innocent but I see the violence in his disguise. Your son is a con, your son is a bad one. Your son is a con, your son is a bad one. Your kind prone to running all your life? How you gonna keep on running all your life? Your son is a con, your son is a bad one. And I wonder where he got it from? Your son is a con, your son is a bad one. Your son is a con, your son is a bad one.

Give me one of those cigarettes! I wanna tempt that toxic, kiss of death! Don't you leave me to my own devices, I could become a k-k-killer! So! Why? Not! District! Destruction! My way! My Moment! Give me one of those white lines! I'm so fucking bored, I'm gonna fuck with my time! Don't you leave me to my own devices, I could become a k-k-killer! District! Destruction! My way! My moment! Misfit! M-Malfunction! My way! My moment! I might follow you home. If you leave me alone. So what if I got an attitude! I do what I want! Don;t care if it's not polite. I'm bringing my riot to you! Break the rules! Fuck shit up! Working it out now I got nothing to loose! District! Destruction! Misfit! M-Malfunction! So? What! Are you ready or not? credits
