New single/video out this month! #DarkPlaces

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..."
