    Hi I'm Cian from Racketeers. We're a Meath/Dublin based rock/alternative/indie band.
    Members are:
    Sean Creedon - Drums
    Cian O'Mahony - Guitar and Vocals
    Eoin Walsh - Bass
    Rhys Thomas - Guitar

    We've been playing together for quite a while and in summer 2010 managed to get a day in SALT Studios in Sutton, where we recorded a 3 track demo cd. The CD is available for listen and free download here --> http://racketeers.bandcamp.com
    We've played gigs in places like The Helix Theatre, DCU; Whelans; Captain Americas etc.
    We also have a facebook page where we keep people updated about gigs etc www.facebook.com/Racketeers
    We'd love any feedback on the songs and we're pretty much always looking for gigs too.
    Thanks :)
    Racketeers out

    By the by, No Lies seems to be the song people like most, so you might like to check that one out first

    I like it, The first two songs make me think of a Kings of Leon and Arctic Monkey's milkshake. No lies is a good song, the chorus could be a lot more striking (no offense meant at all, I'm not a begrudger :D) Great sound off the gear, drum sound is really clean as are the vocals.Well done and Good luck with everything lads.

    I don't want to sound like I'm hostile to criticism or anything, but what do you mean by more striking? This is an honest question, not attacking you :) And thanks very much for the feedback

    Little update
    http://www.bobcom.com/profile/member/view?id=13483
    We've set up a BobCom page. Not completely sure how to use it yet, but sure, we have a few songs uploaded on it, so go along, give them a listen, and I think you can give them scores or something, so be generous :)

    We've gotten a few listens on the bandcamp page recently (http://racketeers.bandcamp.com) that the site says came directly from here. Would people who listen be able to give a bit of feedback? Constructive criticism really appreciated
