Rock and Roll Pop Music from the Future
World Racketeering Squad are Isaac Priestley, Reed Oliver, and Bruce Chandler. Isaac sings and plays guitar and keyboards. Reed sings and plays bass. Bruce sings and plays drums and iPhone organ. Together we create rock and roll pop music from the future.
Located in Austin, Texas, we have been playing together since August of 2007. We write songs about love, girls, science, dinner parties, angels, quantum mechanics, and girls.
Contact us with questions, gig offers, marriage proposals or just to tell us anything you feel like telling us.
Our sets focus on bright, catchy electric rock/pop with a side of sweet emotion. We blend rock and roll, danceable pop and funk, mellow bossa nova and other jazz styles with a positive, upbeat outlook and strong melodies and vocal harmonies.
Come see World Racketeering Squad live and you'll be humming the fast, catchy chorus of "Looking for Lorelei", swaying to the pop groove of "Talking to the Radio" or having your mind blown by the driving power of "She thinks she's got it" and the epic "You are the Dream". One thing is for sure: you will leave happy.
