Raelin didn’t explode on to the Bay Area rock scene. They infiltrated it—methodically and professionally—and hijacked it. Showcasing a raw, purely rock sound, Raelin invokes the roots of true rock n’ roll, annihilating the counterfeit riffs and predictable breakdowns that dominate today’s mainstream scene. In just under one year, this Hayward, California band went from being starry-eyed hopefuls to booking coveted supporting gigs with national acts, including Burn Halo, The Audition, From First to Last, and Drop Dead, Gorgeous. Renowned venues such as the Whiskey A Go-Go in Hollywood, San Francisco’s Slim’s, and The SlideBar in Fullerton were eager to add Raelin to the bill, knowing that they would get nothing less from them than a riveting, powerful, and unforgettable show. In October of 2009, Raelin’s first four-song EP, “Love, Death Rock n’ Roll,” immediately drew praise for its sincere, dynamic tracks, and was compared to the likes of Memphis Mayfire and Escape the Fate. The album’s robust, electric vocals and unapologetic riffs instantly distinguished Raelin from the musical masses, earning the attention of local radio stations, management companies, and record labels. The emotionally-charged single “Mayday!Mayday!” quickly became a fan-favorite, and served to define Raelin’s flawless musical presentation and signature ‘dirty rock’ style. A rare find in a musical wasteland of overcooked sub-genres and superficial niches, Raelin’s refreshing resurrection of authentic rock n’ roll is a musical delicacy. Their unparalleled concoction of quintessential and contemporary rock offers up an exclusive sound-- reminiscent of the good old days, when rock n’ roll was exactly what it was meant to be—sexy, unrefined, dirty, and honest.
