London, United Kingdom (2005 – 2009)
The 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 recently released their third album Klang which included the singles
1989 and That’s The Reason.
They announced their split in October 2009.
Their style can be described as “lo-fi” indie and is vaguely reminiscent of early Joy Division with some catchy guitar riffs and intelligent and humorous lyrics.

So gutted they broke up, I gave out a little tear. Their gig was about the best one I have ever been to and their music is just incredible. I'm so sad there will be no more :'( Also agree with Paul-Nic it does seen VERY odd!

I hear they broke up after I had stopped listening to them for a while, I listen to the old Capture/Release and Ten New Messages, I smiled at they're awesomeness. Farewell.
