Formed from the bones of well-respected Yorkshire bands (Coaster, Gwilo), the Raised By Animals sound encompasses soaring grooves and beautiful melodies, bawdy rockers and delicate English sentiment.

But that doesn’t tell you much does it?

Well, we could bang on about our influences (people like Jeff Buckley, early Bowie,Stevie Wonder, Supergrass, Harry Connick, Harry Hilton, Beck, Weezer, Chris Cornell, Queens Of Stone Age, Audioslave, Ozomatli, Marvin Gaye, Faces, Abba, FooFighters,Queen, Kinks, Kings of Leon); we could share with you the comparisons (Soulwax, Ether, Chilli Peppers, Spacehog, Jellyfish, Elvis Costello, The Police, Bowie, Captain Beefheart); but let’s just say that we don’t believe in the NME as a bible of popular culture, and as such we are free to play music that is just a little bit removed from our peers. Just the way we like it. next
