There are two bands named The Rascals.

1) The Rascals (initially known as The Young Rascals) were an American soul and rock group of the 1960s.

2) The Rascals were a three-piece indie rock band. Miles Kane (guitar), Joe Edwards (bass) and Greg Mighall (drums). Hailing from The Wirral, on Merseyside, these three 21 year olds spent the last 3 years learning their craft as part of The Little Flames, touring with bands like The Coral, The Zutons and most notably, Arctic Monkeys. It was during this time supporting Arctic Monkeys, inspired by their maverick DIY spirit and refusal to comprise, the three youngest Flames decided it was time to trust their hearts and their instincts and go it alone. In September, 2006 they began jamming and writing new material as a three piece and there was born The Rascals.

Impressed by the raw energy and virtuosity of Miles’s guitar playing, Alex Turner, (Arctic Monkeys) approached him and suggested that he play lead guitar on a new Arctic Monkeys’s song ‘505’. The Rascals were immediately signed to Deltasonic Records and played their first gig supporting Arctic Monkeys at Cardiff International Arena in June 2007.

August 2009, Frontman Miles Kane confirmed that he left the band to pursue a solo career. The band was discontinued.
