I just saw a video for that "ghost rider" song?I looked up soinfo about this band?But i am curipous...if anyone can help me out...is there any comparisons that can be made to other bands?
Is it worth checking them out...all i know right now is that chick is really exotic looking...and very hot.It lookslike she could be a mix of like white and korean or chinese?

Anyways...if anybody has any info on this band or has bought some of these albums...speak up and let me know wht you think?Your participation is appreciated!
Thank You!

Imprezu, for such a cool guy, why aren't you so up on the ROCK side of things. This band is about the sixth-coming of Jesus and Mary Chain, but I think they're the first one which has both sexes singing. You might know something I don't, but I'm pretty sure the woman is pure-Scandinavian. You are aware that several Scandinavians are named Wang, aren't you? Well, now you are. (Several of my in-laws with blonde hair and blue eyes were named Wang!) These guys are really good, but probably better if you like the Hives or J&MC. I recommend them as a fun group who really like to sing about sex, driving fast, and pissing the establishment off.

I like the Raveonettes just fine...I think the JMC (or Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, if you missed the 80's)comparison is fair, but filter it through some Phil Spector-ish production and maybe toss in some girl group sounds (Shangri-La's?) and some Blondie into the mix. It's a pretty cool mix of disparate elements.

If you're a JMC fan, though, I recommend a different import...Iceland's Singapore Sling, who make a wholly JMC inspired ruckus!

pE, I'm a little bit surprised that you know so much about Marlon Brando's motorcycle club (BRMC), and especially Singapore Sling (probably my favorite!) I thought YOU didn't like the LOUD parts.

P.S. This is insignificant, but if you want to mention Spector, why don't we go with the obvious, the RONETTES.

i dont know how reputable a source this is...but this is where i saw it.

Only reason i became interested in this band.Is because i know that buck 65 is like in love with her....so he says.So after downloading a few songs and coincidently seeing a video...it seems like this could be a fun band?

Thanks.

OK, according to this, she is a natural blonde, six-feet tall and 1/4 Chinese on one of her grandpa's sides. Just shows how much I know.

A little bit of the B-flat minor/major business goes a long way for me, though.

I'd rather see them mix things up a bit on their next release.

i just saw a k-mart commercial that used a ravonettes song...guess they're big time now!

I love the Raveonettes. Fave album of theirs is The Chain Gang of Love. Yep.

I actually like their first two recordings quite a bit, especially Whip It On. Every song on it is really good, aside from that weird drone song in the middle. What was up with that? Their last album was a too long for its own good, but it still had some good stuff between a little filler. Cool band.

I think what I'm learning about this band and their new album is that you really need to be able to turn it up and appreciate the loud/soft (particularly loud) dynamic that they employ. With sufficient volume these songs really take off for me when they suddenly veer into a "loud" "segment".

I remember one of my best friends in high school was obsessed with the idea of having sex to Pretty in Black. It's a great album, and although I may not generally prefer the ladies I found that drunkenly making out with a gorgeous female German foreign exchange student with this album blasting was quite an enjoyable experience.

...ummm...
