About Me

Ockhams Raiser are a dynamic 3 piece band from the UK. The genre defying trio mix big portions of melody and rhythm to create their sound. At gigs, you will experience alternative, funk and world undertones with heaps of passion.
Since forming the gents have been busy with gigs, festivals, radio interviews and an awards ceremony thrown in for good measure! They’ve recently recorded an EP which is receiving radio airplay in the UK and US.
