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).

lyrics
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?
