Hardcore lovers with their own Punk rock attitude with those just oh so catchy hooks. Born from the futuristic hearts of hardcore blended with the deep sentimentality of punk that had been forgotten about some what 30s years ago, Max Raptor seem to be the new kids on the scene, that's not to sat they don't know what they're doing.

Fresh from Download Festival and currently out headlining their own UK tour, Max Raptor are as vicious as they meaty dinosaur they chose for a band name and will be ripping apart audiences up and down the country with their thrashing instrumental yet fun going vocals.

The crisp punchy guitars gives this single a back bone not to mention the Adam Lazzara inspired and Dave Grohl tweaked vocals of front man Wil Ray (who bears an uncanny resemblance to Morrissey) who just keeps the energy on full throttle through out with his socially raged lyrics ‘of living out of a cage, with minimum wage' and jumpy energy that keeps you on your toes at all time.

The distortion is maxed out into clean cut guitars and tight drums that pound hard down (and up) from the dramatic, somewhat cinematic breakdowns before leaping in head first into an anthemic chorus that could have any festival audience easily tearing to pieces and pounding their fists in the air.

A band definitely worth keeping an eye on. Production wise, Max Raptor stand out clearly from the amateurs around them and professionalism is not seen anywhere else in a band on the same scale. Climbing at a fast pace, Max Raptor are more than willing to rip you to pieces , just having fun whilst they're at it.
