Beautiful. Anthemic. Heartfelt. Raikes own brand of harmony driven, indie-rock has been tugging on the heart strings of crowds across the land for a little while now. Hailing from the depths of South West England, Raikes sold out debut, The Quiet EP, gained critical acclaim and led to the band performing at venues across the UK. Their much anticipated follow up, The Talk EP, was again released to critical acclaim, with the song ‘Matador’ being featured as a BBC Introducing ‘Track of the Week’.

Debut long-player ‘The Door’ is out now!
