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\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k1F37VmwKJE?si=r-pDpRTcRw3CFTVr\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44299639488554,"sku":"RAPTURE - Out Of The Races And Onto The Tracks (25th Ann.
