We took great delight introducing customers at our Brunswick Street location to the wonders of The Rapture. Here's another release you need!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rapture was formed in the spring of 1998 by Vito Roccoforte and Luke Jenner. With a keen ear focused toward visionaries such as PIL, Television, and Chrome, the band quickly formed a reputation across the country, among “those who know” for its energetic, often chaotic live sets; Jenner jumping about like a stilted prat on steroids, while the rhythm section pushed out its patented brand of “sonic deathf*ck groove.” Two records were recorded that fall: an 8-song LP released on the seminal San Diego art punk label, Gravity Records, and a single released on Sonny Kaye’s Gold Standard Laboratories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing these two releases, the band took its make-it-f*cked-up philosophy on the road, touring with Sunny Day Real Estate, Gogogo Airheart, and Nuzzle. In May of 1999 the band relocated to New York City. Matt Safer, a recent arrival from Washington DC, took over the bass roles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a more solid lineup than ever before, the band dove into an exploration of dance and pop music, adding Chic, The Byrds, The Happy Mondays, and Timbaland to their previous influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the EP that followed - 2001’s Out Of the Races and Onto the Tracks - The Rapture nailed their iconoclastic brand of wildly energetic rock drawing as much from dance music as post-punk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urbanrecords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49147838300387,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2333\/3945\/files\/rapture-outoftheraces_1024x1024_142ed4d7-f428-45e3-90d4-9a832de056ba.webp?v=1780556890","url":"https:\/\/urbanrecords.com.au\/products\/the-rapture-out-of-the-races-and-onto-the-tracks-25th-anniversary","provider":"Urbanrecords","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
