Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones

The glitz and glamour of Hollywood has essentially stripped celebrities of any and all humanity. Now in the modern era, social media has then allowed viscous anonymity to completely zap actors, singers, musicians and the like of personality and emotion. We, always the voyeurs peering through black mirrors, all buy into it. Out of Topanga ,California, indie-rock band Rackets frame their deceivingly-jaunty and chewy new song around such a poisonous reality. With “Ooh Aah,” now presented via the band’s first-ever video, the raucous, off-the-cuff trio unleash a boyish, delightfully-punkish charm to punctuate the unnerving undercurrent of everyday life. “I went to your last show / Can I get a follow / Don’t think I care though,” the lyrics spill overtop shiny electric guitars, the groove barreling along a flashy throwback shimmer. The band wields its message through dry, slinky wit that is bound around a classic rock baseline. Even knowing the pathway down, we all ignore the signs and dig humanity a deeper, darker grave.
