RACONTEURS, THE
Broken Boy Soldiers
"It's the special touches that turn what could be pretty standard retro rock into something extraordinary."- artrocker.com
The Raconteurs are a new band made up of old friends, consisting of Jack White [White Stripes], Brendon Benson [taking a break from his solo career], Jack Lawrence & Patrick Keeler [The Greenhornes].
The seed was sewn in an attic in the middle of a hot summer when friends Jack White and Brendon Benson got together and wrote a song that truly inspired them. This song was Steady, As She Goes and the inspiration led to the creation of a full band with the addition of Lawrence and Keeler, who have all finally been able to commit fully to an album release!
From the ready-made, radio-friendly quality built into songs like Steady, As She Goes to the explosive Store Bought Bones, The Raconteurs are more than capable of conquering any genre challenge or tale that they encounter. The Raconteurs have it all going on: a pyrotechnic display of songwriting & playing, memorable verses, addictive choruses, bridges, middle-eights, backwards guitars, hooks, harmonies, 20-second solos - this is the real deal. After all, a raconteur by definition, is a deft storyteller…
While each of these four musicians have had successful careers with their own bands, the culmination of all of their talents is what truly makes The Raconteurs a force to be reckoned with. Ladies and gen'men, behold… The Raconteurs…
