“There’s an almost schitzophrenic cocktail here that moves from punk to Afrobeat to acid jazz in equal turns, but never pulls away from the meat and potatoes required of any ambitious young group. Like an iPod playlist come to life, this is a group you’ll find impossible to pin down, but easy to get down to.” – Mike Levine of Deli Magazine
“Talent-wise all three members impressed, but what was most impressive was the melding of seemingly divergent sounds. The bass, drums and guitar could simultaneously veer off on a tangent without losing the greater whole. The gorgeous three-part harmonies were the melodic highlight of the songs. Then they also weren’t afraid to throw an adventurous instrumental into the mix.” - Eli of Tympanogram
“Seeing these guys was the most fun I’ve had at a show in a long time…Each one is a master of his craft and they work together incredibly. Their lyrics are eloquent simple and beautiful, never distracting or disheartening. Their beats are lively but also sincere and serious.” - Bushwick Community Darkroom
“The young group has been around for a short while, but it’s the sort of band that can build a reputation by word of mouth [and] on the strength of its shows” Roman of Rochester City Paper
“The name, with a nod and a wink, is pronounced “less racket.” I wish Patrick Carroll, Kenneth Murphy and Daniel Malone had been among the many young Brooklyn bands in town during the recent Savannah Stopover – their clever and catchy power-trio rock ‘n’ roll, with a lot of improve and jamming, is capped nicely with three-part vocal harmonies. Coulda done with more of that.” -Bill DeYoung of Connect Savannah
“A band that got its start just a year ago and is already touring heavily Northeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions, Les Racquet has become a movement of sorts leaving new fans and great reviews in every city they touch…” – Venus Lockett of Examiner.com
“Their incredible range of influences and styles allows each song to appear fresh and unexpected” – Leah Creary of Rockchester Daily
