About Me

Thunderous, hook laden west coast riffs and high octane 3 part harmonies are what sets RAW apart from every other group in the music industry today.Formed In 1994, Roger Mowat (lead vocal/guitar), Archie Ian (drums/vocals) and Alan Mackenzie, (bass/vocals) knew right from the beginning that they were about to embark on a journey unlike anything they have ever been involved with.RAW has toured and supported bands such as Nickelback, D.O.A., Shocore, Nazareth, Trooper, Noise Therapy, Flybanger, Vader, Sweet Noise, Killing Joke, I Mother Earth, and Krzysztof Jaryczewski, as well as headlined selected larger venues.The animated performance have captivated audiences of all ages and led the group to the attention of major concert performers and music festival organizers.In 2003 and 2004 RAW was invited to perform in front of 400,000 fans in Zary and Kostrzyn Poland at Przystanek Woodstock. Also, with stops in Amsterdam, Berlin, Warsaw, as well as shows on the Russian and Czek borders were they gave the people a taste of rock culture, west coast style.RAW has released 3 independent albums Mother Playing Field (1997) RAW 3.14 e.p. (1999) & Asleep at the Wheel (2003) were receiving positive feedback from radio to major labels. Through their recordings RAW has managed to create new markets for their music with relentless touring in North America as well as Europe.RAW live is an event unto itself and can only really be appreciated in person.

4 Stars **** Lot's of energy, original lyrics, and well produced!! author: Michal J. Krol Very energetic, you're guaranteed not to fall 'Asleep at The Wheel'!
