Raise These Sails are a post-hardcore band, and have been together since August 2009. They are here to make an impression on the local scene, and they certainly did that at the Kelvedon Festival Battle of the Bands competition back in March of this year. Despite stiff competition from The Kipling Conspiracy, Caged, Buried by Dawn and One Kill Away From a Pavelow, they powered their way through a blistering set to impress the judges and delight the crowd. And their reward for winning our annual competition for young local bands is to play the opening slot on the main stage.
Combining melodic slow beat choruses with metal, hardcore, catchy fast beat riffs and heavy ass breakdowns, this band seem to have it all. Raise These Sails are a six piece band ready to take on anything that crosses their path. They give a strong, energetic performance right from the start, interacting really well with their audience and always have a great time on stage - a key factor to their success to date.
The band members are George Willett on drums, Robb Clark and Jack Dervish on vocals, Harry Stokley is bass guitarist, and Connor Blackley and Niall Kenny are the band’s two guitarists. Coming from the Witham, Kelvedon and Coggeshall area they are rapidly building up a fan base both in this country and in America.
The Raise These Sails song ‘Torn Apart by Crows’ is to appear in Dan Allen’s latest short film "Reflection". Dan is an amazing film maker and the band is confident that this will be a great film and are happy to play a part in it.
They recently played a blistering set at the Open Minded Music Festival in Witham with Fei Comodo and the Kuru Smile, earning them an impressive 7/10 rating from Ourzone Magazine, and have since gone on to support Rinoa at Chelmsford Barhouse. They have an energetic tight sound which is clearly maturing and evolving.
They are having a couple of months off from gigging prior to Kelvfest so that they can write a load of new songs, and come back even fresher, brighter and bigger than before. For more information please go to Raise These Sails
