The Broken Ravens are a 5 piece hard rock band based in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. Formed in 2011 by 4 friends from local bands on the pub/club circuit for a change to the norm playing covers every weekend and creating a darker, fuzzier, energetic yet accessible kind of sound.

Acting independently, the band have released multiple singles and an EP, helping TBR spread their wings out of Stornoway to play iconic venues accross the globe and record in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The band funding all their adventures with support from a loyal fanbase.

"A foot stomping, head banging, fire ball of fuzz" 
The Skinny

"... a solid chunk of rock riffage that the likes of Queens of The Stone Age would be proud of. The five-piece from Stornoway sounded tight and tracks like ‘SWB’ is an indication of their uncompromising take no prisoners attitude"
Inverness Gigs.

"...White Gold, possibly one of - if not THE best - songs I’ve heard this year. A morality tale with drugs, devils, killers, vampires, babes, sunshine, prison cells and the white gold itself, you need to hear it"
"...its legend unfolding and sending a shiver down your spine..."

Vocalist working in and around Glasgow. 
Original music coming soon,

Electronic musician from Norway. I started playing piano/keyboards in the mid 80s. After a few years at the municipal music school, I quickly grew tired of the simple piano-only education and got to move on to classes with keyboards and synths. From the early beginning with Technics K-200 rhythm keyboard from 1983 via some Casios/Hohner keyboards, I evolved with the later Technics KN-1000 and KN-2000 before moving on to Roland XP-50. As the computer revolution made DAWs affordable, 1999 made sequencing using Cubase easy and the studio grew ever larger with more outboard gear. Today the studio has become a sizeable and functional MIDI/arranging studio with over 40 synths/modules and more centered around a MacPro with MOTU’s Digital Performer, and numerous more or less famous productions.

I have always had a musical approach towards sound engineering and composing, rooted mainly in vivid harmonic structures and saturated compositions. Inspiration has always been the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Eric Serra to name a few giants in the electronic scene, but also a heart towards well produced pop music from the 70s and 80s as well as epic film scores from John Williams, Alan Silvestri and Hans Zimmer. The baby era of computer music from the late 80s and early 90s was also a heavy influence.
