Electronic Press Kit

Booster Club is a College Rock Revival™ band from the Raleigh-Durham area. Formed in 2021, this post-pandemic alternative indie-rock band is lead by singer/guitarist Steven Bailey (Indiobravo, The Jaded Rakes, Paloma, Waxing Myrna)  joined by bassist Alan Levine (Bob Funck Band, Coytah, and Indiobravo) and drummer Joey Zielazinski (Secretary Pool, The Softeners).

​

While Booster Clubs’s influences quickly become apparent (The Replacements, Pixies, Hüsker Dü, et al), their songs stand on their own; being delivered with an authentic fervor fueled by death-anxiety and caffeine. Despite sharing common aesthetics with pre-internet college radio artists, Booster Club takes on forward-leaning sensibilities that are unafraid to veer from anthemic hooks to art-rock chaos.

“One of the highlights of Mom Pop is the lyrics behind the songs; “Crashing” is filled with colorful metaphors about a relationship gone sour. The hook is also very catchy.”

“The Jaded Rakes offer a refreshing rock 'n' roll sound that alternates between catchy Elvis Costello and Wilco-like rootsy pop and fuzzy, experimental tween pop. A delightfully eclectic indie band, The Jaded Rakes seem poised to make a solid impact on the regional music circuit for years to come”
