Max Raptor could be the new thing on your lips…
There is something slightly raw and full on Rock about this four-piece from Burton-On-Trent. Max Raptor have the blueprint of an Indie band that has then been told to ‘Man up’ and injected with some Punk Rock. It’s this rebel-rousing angst that is the backbone for the band’s songs.
The downside here is that there is only the one song, however with the single, ‘The Great And The Good’, we have a song that borders on being an anthem with it’s catchy, up-tempo beat and sing-a-long vocals. “I pin this badge upon my chest!” screams out lead singer, Wil Ray, repeatedly before the guitars storm the song like soldiers, with riffs firing out like bullets, and drums pounding like bombs in the night.
Max Raptor have already had support slots with the likes of The Zutons, Billy Talent and The Stranglers proving that behind the music, the band can hold their own with balls bigger than King Kong. This is a great single that should be on the lips of everyone at the various festivals the band are playing this year, which includes Download.
