RAPTORS ARE SCARY!

For only being a band for a year and a half these guys have definitely been busy! Most recently Raptors song “Last Train” has been played extensively on Sonic 102.9FM Edmonton’s Modern Rock Station. As part of the “Band of the Month” program “Last Train” received over 100 plays during October, 2008 and the song has remained in steady rotation since. Furthermore, during the fall of 2008 Raptors sold out venues for their Western Canadian Music Awards and Sonic Band of the Month Showcases.

Following up on the local success of their 4 song "Owl" E.P released in July 2007. The Raptors released the full length "Deer" LP in June 2008. Taking a departure from the lighter sounding E.P., the new album is loud and goes balls out, while still retaining the pop sensibility and songwriting amongst the three band mates.

The sound has been best described by one listener as "Raptors is what would happen if Tom Petty and Queens of the Stone Age got drunk together at a party and started jamming, and then continued drinking".

Opening for such bands as Team Building, Carpenter, Mother Mother, The Dudes, and People in Planes, crowds always seem to dig on their unique blend of classic rock and alternative... even when they decide to delve in to more funkier style jams it all seems to come together in a cohesive package of aural pleasure for the listener.
