Raising Ravens - Motives EP Tour

Raising Ravens are back! With Alice Cottee and The Strike-Outs

After a mini break from touring and resting after the release of debut album ' Leaving With The Halflight' in 2023, Raising Ravens are ready to attack with the latest release 'Motives', a five track EP full of energy and velocity. 2024 is going to be one to remember. Help celebrate at Smith's Alternative with supports from local legends Alice Cottee and The Strike-Outs.

'Motives' was written ultimately as a purge of negative experiences both personal and universal from the past two years as a way of understanding or coming to terms with what motivates human beings to do the things they do.

Motives: We all have them.

Raising Ravens was conceived by Australian artist, Jess Finlayson in 2020 and grew into a musical nebula over the following years of mayhem and chaos.

Including contributions from some of Jess’s favourite musical comrades, Raising Ravens has become more of a collective than one singular entity and continues to evolve. Choosing to remain completely independent, Jess created her own label, Interloper Records with all Raising Ravens releases being launched from a platform owned and run by the artist.

A hard-hitting rock-based project, Raising Ravens focuses on topics that tend to be swept under the carpet or ignored and touches on subjects relating to worldwide and personally experienced abuses of power and the effects those abuses have on those who are at its mercy. Working alongside long-standing friend and producer, Lachlan Mitchell, Raising Ravens have managed to pull together a vast body of eclectic work with both national and international tours on the immediate horizon. There may even be an album number two in the works.
