Boom Boom Racoon are a scrappy, acoustic DIY ska-punk band from Bristol, UK. All queer, all singing, often dancing - they describe themselves as "80% politics, 30% nonsense" and enjoy singing about everything from biscuit factory heists to social justice rants. Having started life gigging at anti-fracking sites, info nights and fundraisers in early 2018, Boom Boom Racoon have politics at the heart of their music and are proud to be part of the UK's thriving DIY music scene. With two completely home recorded albums under their belts, Boom Boom Racoon are eager to release new music in 2024 and would love you to come and check us out live if you've stumbled across us on a line-up and are checking out Spotify to see if we might be worth it!! Some other people's opinions to help convince you: “What a set this was! Playing with an infectious energy, you couldn't help but be mesmerised by what was happening on the stage. Boom Boom Racoon are a lively bunch, clearly having a lot of fun on stage, this quickly transferred into the crowd who responded with some enthusiastic dancing. ” - Colin's Punk Rock World “I love Bristol’s Boom Boom Racoon. They’re an acoustic ska/folk hybrid that play catchy and endearing songs about biscuits and The Simpsons with a strong political message and passion for activism and environmentalism.” -Shout Louder “10/10 would recommend this band. Good in a crisis. Helped rescue my friend's car when it got stuck on an icy road.” - Bee
