Booster Club

Raleigh, NC

Booster Club is a College Rock Revival™ band from the Raleigh-Durham area. While Booster Clubs’s influences quickly become apparent (The Replacements, Pixies, Pavement, et al), their songs stand on their own as modern Indie Rock. Being delivered with an authentic fervor fueled by death-anxiety and caffeine, Booster Club live performances deliver an authentic energy that is undeniable. 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 while avoiding the sterilizing pitfalls of modern recording (time control, amp modeling, sound replacement, pitch correction, etc.) Formed in 2021, this post-pandemic alternative rock band is lead by veterans of the NC music scene including singer/guitarist Steven Bailey (Indiobravo, The Jaded Rakes, Brandy Lindsey and the Punch, Paloma, Waxing Myrna) joined by bassist Alan Levine (Bob Funck Band, Coytah, and Indiobravo) and drummer Joey Zielazinski (Secretary Pool, The Softeners).
