Raspberry Badger

About Me

Raspberry Badger are like nothing youve heard before ~ A mix of everything from rock/rocknroll/hard rock -indie -funk could describe their influences, but what they do is unique in itself. Thriving on originality & great musicianship in a world full of thin-guitared, thin-idead, Indie-wannabes they are trying to bring good music back. Please have a listen and judge for yourself, RB are more than ready to make a breakthrough, and promise not to disappoint an ear in the audienceFormed in summer 2003, Raspberry Badger started out as just 5 young badgers against the big bad world. One of the badgers lost himself in the wilderness and was subsequently savaged by a pack of wolves. Then there were 4.Paul Docherty, Seán Downey, Éamonn Maguire and Kenneth Millar are the four elements that comprised this sublime fusion of musical loveliness. The band are continuing to pick up and get stronger in every way and fresh from the release of their new Spectrum EP, 2008 promises to be the year of the Badger as the band prepare to step up to the next level. Watch this space.Here's what some respected individuals had to say:"They can write such gorgeously melodic shimmery pop songs...great Guided By Voices pop tunes that deserve to be all over the radio!" - glasswerk.co.uk
"The demo's first track, Spectrum, really sets the ears twitching...with its jangly guitars and dual vocals, this is the kind of pub rock that has made The Libertines 2004's hottest album" - Rick Fulton, Daily Record
"Spectrum...a thundering, swaggering monster of a tune and proof that Raspberry Badger can hang with the heavyweights of the music world if they so desire" - Jonathan Geddes, The Reformer
"It's really hard to hear where you guys get your sound from...I'd really like to come to one of your gigs!" - Justin Currie, Del Amitri
"Excellent song-writers...very original melodies going on." - Mark, Music Producer (BBC)
"Wunderbar!" - Brigadier Gerald
