Description

There is nothing remotely Jurassic about this Midland conceived 4 piece whose forthright narrative and devastating live set is spearheading a hungry horde of New Wave British Alt-Rock bands.

Biography

Max Raptor sound like...the visceral claws of Great British rock n' roll frantically disembowelling American alt-rock with a partisan punk attitude. There is nothing remotely Jurassic about this Midland conceived 4 piece whose forthright narrative and devastating live set is spearheading a hungry horde of New Wave British Alt-Rock bands.

Having cut their carnivorous teeth landing support slots with The Zutons and Canadian punk-rockers Billy Talent, the Max Raptor boys embarked on a UK tour supporting British punk legends The Stranglers in 2010, to riotous applause. Playing to such a well established and specific fanbase as The Stranglers could have been risky, but time and time again Max Raptor prove their credentials in the live habitat, conquering new fans everywhere their rapturous sound can be heard.
