Raising Ravens - Smith's Alternative

Overview

After a hectic 2024, releasing music and touring all over the globe, Raising Ravens are back with a new single!

'The Storm' was written about, and during, a string of personal crises and the processing of life events while arriving at the understanding that nothing is permanent. It is described, 'All we truly own in our lives is our experiences and everything else can be taken from us at any moment. Embracing this truth is liberation from the temporal world and reminds us to not take anything for granted, even negative experiences.'

Joining them on the night are local legends, Domesticated Incels, playing at much loved Smith's Alternative.

Raising Ravens was created by Australian artist Jess Finlayson in 2020 and evolved amid years of chaos. Featuring contributions from various artists, Raising Ravens is now a collective. Jess, staying independent, launched her label, Interloper Records, to release all Raising Ravens' music.

This rock-based project tackles often overlooked issues, addressing abuses of power and their impacts. Collaborating with producer Lachlan Mitchell, Raising Ravens has produced diverse work, with national and international tours planned. A second album may be on the way.
