We’re thrilled to premiere “Turning Point,” a new single by Raincheck.
Formed in 2014 in Lyon by five guys, seasoned veterans of the punk rock scene with over 15 years of activity, Raincheck is influenced by the US punk rock / melodic hardcore of the 90’s and 00’s (NOFX, Descendents, Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Shook Ones…).
After a few songs and a growing number of gigs in bars and venues around Lyon, a first EP «TRUE LOVE» comes out in 2016, and a vinyl version will be released with the support of many DIY labels – including Raincheck’s own label, Joe Cool Records, founded for the occasion. The EP is nicely welcomed in France, Belgium or Switzerland, with concerts in Lausanne, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Marseille and a few times in Paris, the capital.
With this international yet local recognition, Raincheck opened for many big bands like Lagwagon (Ninkasi Kao, Lyon), Good Riddance (Warmaudio, Lyon), Frenzal Rhomb (Gibus, Paris), or for «the bosses» Burning Heads (MJC Ô Totem, Rilleux-la-Pape), and did quite well – against all odds ! At the end of 2019, the band – now a four-piece – finally went back to the studios to record a second EP «LAST CALL» – 6 tracks, but all killers, which will be released in june 2020 with the help of several French, Swiss and German labels.
