PLAY MAGAZINE
The "Up and Coming" section of the December issue of 'Play' magazine had this to say:
'Hanging out with "The Killers" and supporting the "Dirty Pretty Things", it seems like Lincoln-based band, "theRAYS" are the biggest unsigned band around. It won't be long. It can't be!
Three months after entering the studio in Late 2004 to record a three track solo EP, front man Andy McEwan left with an eleven track album and a full band. Since then, "theRAYS" have done a string a very impressive gigs. Among their latest conquests, not only have they showcased for Gibson at the Hard Rock Cafe in London but have played at the most prestigious unsigned event in the world: Manchester's 'In The City'.
With a new EP out before the end of 2006 and a full frontal gig schedule, things are looking bright for theRAYS'

RECORDING
Recording of the new EP is nearly complete. After listening to the first mix the band are looking to head back into dB studios to make a few alterations before sending it to print. As soon as it's ready, there'll be a track uploaded so keep checking back!

COLUMBIA RECORDS
Short notice but hey thats how it goes. Columbia Records visit Lincoln on Tuesday at Christophers and theRAYS are playing for them. This gig is the result of a lot of work by local promoters to get probably the top 4 bands in Lincoln together in the same place on the same night. Our personal friends Lipstick Entourage will be showcasing too. Please make it down there if you can and see all the bands.
