RAANT

About Me

RAANT formed in early 2001 to play original, guitar based hard rock.The first CD, No Borders, was released in 2003. No Borders featured ten rocking songs, two of which (Walk All Over My Heart and Goin' To The Well) received heavy radio airplay in parts of Eastern Canada. No Borders was reviewed as sounding "like Crazy Horse and ZZ-Top jamming together". Elements of the CD were compared to early Foghat.In 2005, the RAANT's second CD. RAANT II was released. A darker album than No Borders, RAANT II was has more of a raw, dirtier hard rock sound. Two radio singles have enjoyed constant radio play in Southern New Brunswick, You Want It...You Need It and Big Rock. Ten tracks recorded at full volume with intense, searing lead guitar and a pounding rhythm section!!Visit www.raant.ca for more information, pics, vids, free mp3's, and more!!
