The Rakes – Retreat
With the release of each new Rakes single, it becomes even more challenging to pin down their sound. Combine the likes of The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand but add a 70s punk feel to it. It’s like a wonderful blend of the good parts of the aforementioned bands. There I tried. “Retreat” is a great tale of hooking up and not missing out. The hook is great and easy to sing along to after a few. I am still hoping the will release “Ausland Mission” (Demo version on the B-Side on Strasburg).
