The Rakes

The RakesThe Rakes were a four piece indie rock band hailing from London. Releasing their debut album Capture/Release in 2005, The Rakes were the talk of the Reading and Leeds Festival after joining forces with indie elites such as Bloc Party and Maxïmo Park in the NME Tent. They released their third and final album Klang in 2009 which included the singles 1989 and That's the Reason. In October 2009, The Rakes announced that the band was to split with immediate effect: "The Rakes have always been very adamant and proud of the fact that we give 100% to every gig we’ve ever played. If we can’t give it everything then we won’t do it. That was the rule we set ourselves from day one".
Band From: United Kingdom, London - England
Band Members: Alan Donohoe (vocals), Matthew Swinnerton (guitar), Jamie Hornsmith (bass guitar), and Lasse Petersen (drums)
