Fans can sign-up with their mobile number to make sure they're privy to all the goings on in The Rakes camp and don't miss out on any of the special events the band have planned.
The Rakes were formed in 2002, taking their name from the fact that they are “skinny as rakes”. Since coming to relative fame in 2005, they have been associated with the British post-punk/art-rock scene, a genre that lumps bands like Franz Ferdinand, Maxïmo Park, and The Futureheads in one cluster.
