   About The Ragadors
The Ragadors burst onto the scene in late 2008 with a surprising collection of material that could only be the product of years of musical frustration, experimentation, and honing.

With their high-energy, heavily blues-influenced rock & roll, this quartet based in Milwaukee, WI has been captivating audiences from day one. The Ragadors’ guitar driven, foot-stomping tunes are layered with classic melodies, catchy hooks, and a lyrical maturity that is not often heard from a group of four young punks.

The Ragadors recorded their debut, self-titled EP in early 2009 with J. Christopher Hughes at posthistoric in Milwaukee, WI (myspace.com/posthistoricsounds). Their first full-length album is already in production and is slated for release this fall.

Each of the boys brings to the table a diverse musical history, but a common love for an era where musicians still ruled the music industry. The energy created when four players stand in a room together is far greater than anything a computer can create, and this philosophy drives the entire creative process of the Ragadors: “When we record, we strive to lay something down that people will recognize when they see the live show. There isn’t anything that you hear on the EP that we can’t recreate in front of an audience. ”

Compared to artists like The Black Keys and Kings of Leon, their frenetic live shows and classic sounding recordings will keep you dancing all weekend, and rockin’ at your desk the rest of the week.

Press

"...the Ragadors have an extended range, moving from melodic grooves laid down by their classic rock forefathers to straight-ahead blistering rock-and-roll, all of which is firmly grounded in an obvious love for the blues. From the first note to the last, this is roots music." -UWM Post

"Bluesy rock in the vein of the Black Keys, White Stripes, and Kings of Leon. Excellent stuff!" - Jack DeVoss UndergroundColumbus. com

"We're The Ragadors, a rock & roll band from Milwaukee, WI. Come out to a show and we'll do our best to get your hearts beatin' and your toes tappin'. We play rock songs, bluesy enough to be familiar, with just enough grit to make your grandmother nervous."
