The Danish duo
The Raveonettes have hit the scene running with the hot single "
Bang!" from their new record,
In and Out of Control, released earlier this month. The retro-inspired duo has taken cues from rock gods
Buddy Holly,
The Velvet Underground and other diverse influencers to create their unique sound.
The Raveonettes 2007 LP Lust, Lust, Lust earned rave reviews for its innovative, ethereal guitar sounds interwoven with an infectious hybrid beat of New Wave, Punk and Pop. The album produced several popular songs, including “Dead Sound,” You Want The Candy,” “Aly, Walk With Me,” and “Blush” (along with the amazing B-side “Black-White”). Their follow-up record, the EP Sometimes They Drop By, explored a new dimension of their vintage stylings, combining the cinematic ambience of composers like Angelo Badalamenti, and guitar riffs also found in the work of current guitar aficionado M. Ward.
Though serious about their rocking, The Raveonettes know how to have a fabulous time! Check out their fun videos of “The Last Dance,” “Black / White,” “Dead Sound” and “Aly, Walk With Me.”
