PRAISE
“A debut from a Newcastle duo who pay homage to everyone from 3OH!3 to 100 Gecs in these brash, bratty tracks pumped full of nervy adrenaline.” THE GUARDIAN
“On their self-titled debut album, they trade their gritty dance-punk sound for pure hyperpop to get you moving.” ROLLING STONE AUSTRALIA
“Always so much love for Raave Tapes on the triple j text line whenever a song gets dropped in.This one reminded me of Passion Pit or maybe even Nero?!?! at times?!?! Giving me big festival set energy nonetheless. Love it.” CLAIRE MOONEY, TRIPLE J
“Stripped back indie dance early 2000s throwback VOIBES – a really nice time all round.” LUKA MULLER, TRIPLE J
“This one really grabbed me! The build up of the track to that hammering, heavy electro finish was really beautiful. Feels like a cathartic main character moment in a TV show like Skins or Heartbreak High.” KAILYN CRABBE, TRIPLE J
“RAAVE TAPES are really capturing something here!! The production on ‘I Just Wanna Be Alone’ is gorge. Love love love.” JORDAN BARR, TRIPLE J
“Okay totally not what I was expect but I’m intrigued <3 LOVE hearing RAAVE TAPES push the boundaries of their sound!” ANIKA LUNA, TRIPLE J UNEARTHED

With the release of their highly anticipated debut album in May, RAAVE TAPES officially entered their most confident era as artists to date. The album, RAAVE TAPES, came brandishing some of the duo’s most diverse and creative sounds including singles ‘I Just Wanna Be Alone’, ‘k hi’ and ‘Braces’ – music that makes the listener simply want to move.
Thankfully the wait for that opportunity is soon to be over, with RAAVE TAPES announcing national album tour dates, kicking off in Sydney this August. Taking in shows in some of the country’s most beloved venues, RAAVE TAPES are set to bring a special new show to fans and newcomers alike – primed to showcase just how dynamic the self-titled record is.
Of the national tour, RAAVE TAPES have said, “Releasing an album has been a monumental moment for us & we can’t wait to celebrate it with all of our friends. This record was made for the dancefloor & holding your loved ones tight. Let’s party rock.”
Coming out of Newcastle, RAAVE TAPES have developed a strong reputation as both recording artists and live performers in recent years. Producing insatiable music that has leaned easily into club territory as it has to festival stages around the country, RAAVE TAPES have proven time and again that their vision represents an exciting approach to fresh and modern alt-pop. With over80k streams across platforms to date, RAAVE TAPES have built on such a presence with a loyal following that continues to grow.
The release of RAAVE TAPES earlier this year saw the group elevate artistically; the reception to the album demonstrated that the fans and industry alike, saw them and embraced their fresh influences and sonic creations.
Enjoying success for tracks across triple j, triple j Unearthed, FBi Radio, 4ZZZ and on DSPS including Spotify’s Fresh Finds AU/NZ and New Music Friday AU/NZ, and Apple Music’s New Music Daily, New in Pop, Glitch and Rise and Grind editorial playlists; the album also received widespread editorial support from tastemakers and leading titles including Rolling Stone Australia, Happy Magazine, MusicFeeds, ToneDeaf, AAA Backstage, Scenestr and The Guardian.

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
