Racquet Club

A quartet of American indie rock veterans, Racquet Club was formed in Los Angeles by singer/guitarist Blair Shehan (Knapsack, the Jealous Sound), Sergie Loobkoff (Samiam, Knapsack), drummer Bob Penn (the Jealous Sound), and bassist Ian Smith. The group officially announced their existence in early 2017, having already recorded their debut album with producer Alex Newport (Bloc Party, Frank Turner) and signed with Rise Records. Musically, their edgy, introspective rock takes a similar approach as that of their previous bands. Making their live debut in May 2017, Rise issued Racquet Club's self-titled LP in September of that year. ~ Timothy Monger
