Edit history

Rackets and Fives is an independent six-piece band that formed as a recording project in 2009. Three of the band members have made music together for almost a decade under other names. The latest line-up came together from a variety of musical backgrounds, bringing together a love for folk, dark country music, 60’s pop hooks and a bit of classical. The result of the group’s diverse parts created something altogether new. The goal for Rackets and Fives has always been to make an amazing album – no singles, no EPs, no live shows, only a full-length. We wanted to record an album because we’re all music geeks and we grew up caring a great deal about the ‘old format’. The project has been two years in the making and we are set to release our debut this year.
