London-based band The Rackets release their debut EP this Friday. Following their recent singles Car Sick, Thursday Bags and 131, the band have been building momentum with energetic live shows and sharp, guitar-driven songwriting. They’ll be taking their new live set on tour across the UK and Ireland this year, stopping off at McChuills this Sunday.

In 2025, The Rackets sold out London’s iconic Troubadour and earned festival slots at Blue Reef and Mascara Bar. Blending jangly indie hooks with a darker post-punk edge, they’re tipped to resonate with fans of The Strokes, The Cure, Blur and The Maccabees.

Support comes from Carnality, a four-piece alternative band known for raw, emotionally charged songs built on driving guitars, sharp rhythms and unfiltered lyricism. Drawing influence from the visceral intensity of Wunderhorse, the darker edge of Basht and the urgency of Bleech 9:3, Carnality sit somewhere between bruised indie rock and cathartic alt-rock release. On stage, they deliver loud, direct and immersive performances that demand attention.
