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
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
