“Finlayson has been a massive presence on the Australian hard rock circuit for a number of years and now, with Raising Ravens, has found her niche once more. Dirty old school rock that instantly takes you back to your angst-ridden youth” – HEAVY MAG 

.

Raising Ravens have announced their first full band tour in support of the next single, ‘Evil On Call’ (out on July 2). Kicking off at Sydney’s Metro Theatre on June 17, the tour also takes in Newcastle, Erskineville, and Port Kembla and will be filming behind the scenes and live footage during the tour for the creation of a follow up film clip.

‘Evil On Call’  is the 4th single from the upcoming Raising Ravens album (due for release in 2022).

The song was written as an observation of the dark side of social media in which there breeds the unstoppable and impulsive nature of online bullying, harassment, cyberstalking and slander at the convenient press of a button. It is a reflection on the abuse of power that is so easily accessible while being fueled by invisible and seemingly omnipotent corporate entities. A device driven by money and marketed as a tool that is allegedly designed to bring people together but ends in driving people apart.

Raising Ravens is the new musical project for Australian artist, Jess Finlayson. Conceived in 2020 and kicking off with debut single release ‘Careful What You Wish For’, Raising Ravens has continued to grow in intensity with the most recent release ‘It’s a Trap’ hitting number 1 in the Amrap Metro Charts in April 2021 and staying in the Top 10 for 4 consecutive weeks, along with being added to playlists around the world including USA, UK, Canada, Egypt & Brazil.

Raising Ravens is a hard-hitting rock-based project focusing 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.

Starting out as the lead guitarist for all female hard-rock renegades, Nitocris followed by the infamous Fyreflyes, Jess has been touring nationally and internationally, writing and recording since the age of 15. Most recently being the founding member, lead singer/guitarist for The Mis-Made who are currently on hiatus, the focus in now on recording a full-length album with long standing producer, Lachlan Mitchell and some of her favourite musicians and co-conspirators, Lara Chrystal, Tara Doyle, Suzanne Rex and Andrea Dyson.

Raising Ravens also have some rockin’ T-shirts available for pre-order, including a free Sticker + Download of It’s A Trap and Evil On Call: HERE
