The Rakes!!!
The year of the sophomore album continues. The Rakes have picked up where they left off from their last album with their new album, Ten Messages. They were lost in a crop of bands that came out of the UK at the same time lumping them with the same description. I always felt that these guys and Maximo Park were the cream of that crop. Great energy and intensity.
