Rook and the Ravens

Rook and the Ravens

Rook and the Ravens are a indie rock band from (the hills on the east side of) Manchester and consist of Joe Fay (vocals, guitars), James Fay (vocals, guitars), Tom Cartledge (vocals, keys), Dave Brodie (bass, harps, backing vocals) and John B. Major (drums, backing vocals.)

They have so far released one EP, Rook and the Ravens (2007), and an album (Sixteen Holes in Sixteen Souls) in 2009..

The sound of Rook and the Ravens is what you hear when the sound of a typical indie Brit band get mixed up with the sound of a southern American rock band from the late 60’s. Something that makes this music unique and inventive.

The mix of characteristic rock vocals and some irreproachable music skills puts this music in a category of something you rarely hear in these days. The Rook and the Ravens can easily be a band to bring back the real sound of classic rock’n roll, mixed together with the sound of a typical indie rock band.
