Raptors

About

Los Angeles’ Raptors is back with the release of their self-titled album, a fiery ensemble that erupts right out of the gate with its opening track. The record is persistent, never letting up all the way through its impassioned, unforgettable ending. These eight tracks contain so much more than just whiskey-soaked vocals wrapped up in vitriol and indignation. And to understand its contours, one must dive in headfirst. Just beneath the surface the band emotes fragility, self-doubt, harmful pride, loneliness, and abandonment while showcasing a diverse range of styles, focused songwriting, and alluring structures. The guitars don't weep, they scream. The harmonies don't just ache they bleed. The drums are less your typical hardcore flare than a bombardment of beats pumped up with enough speed and aggression it would make Charles Bronson blush. Produced by Jay Stolo, Raptor’s self-titled album will energize anyone - young or old, drunk or sober, rest assured.
