Little Racer

"LR are seemingly all about making hazy melodies and Beach Boys choruses." - NME

"the three picked up some instruments are immediately hit on a unique sound that falls somewhere between the energy of New York's Classic garage rock scene and California soul." - Topman Generation

"The ratios are right and the results are addictive" - Filter Magazine

"Little Racer write undeniably catchy choruses" - Brooklyn Vegan

"Last Tuesday, the Williamsburg venue Baby’s All Right hosted an array of excellent garagey pop sounds featuring Little Racer, Eternal Summers and Cheatahs. Little Racer opened the night, a local foursome who rattled and clanked over hazy surf-pop riffs. The group played a few new songs from their forthcoming EP, Modern Accent, out next month, along with other melancholy, sun-soaked tunes like Vanessa." - CMJ

Little Racer are based in Brooklyn but first made a splash across the pond, landing a deal with London imprint Young and Lost Club, who put out the Yanks' "Split for the Coast"/"The Town" 7-inch in late 2011. Now, the foursome — consisting of singer-guitarist Elliot Michaud, bassist Ish Nazmi, guitarist Wade Michael, and drummer Dave Tedeschi — have signed with a new label, PaperCup Music, and announced a new EP, Modern Accent. Out April 4, the upcoming effort spans six songs, including the New Order-indebted "Dancing" (first heard via Filter) and the just-revealed "Punk Life," a rubbery bit of surf-rock. "Everybody knows that I love the punk life," Michaud sings. "And you can see it in my face, babe / I've been drinking all night." - SPIN
