The Raveonettes

The Raveonettes are considered one of the biggest rock events in recent Danish history, and according to David Fricke from Rolling Stone Magazine they make “tight blazing pop of the top order”.

Sune Rose Wagner (guitar and vocals) and Sharin Foo (bass, guitar and vocals) drew inspiration from 1950s American rock'n'roll, 60s girl groups and surf guitar from California. Back in the Noughts they were part of the new garage rock movement that included bands like The Strokes, The Hives and The White Stripes. Their unique contribution was especially Wagner and Foo's 'vocal candy’. Wagner and Foo sing together in a compressed, modal boy-girl blend that,
against hurricane feedback and booming trebled bass guitar, sounds like the Jesus and Mary Chain with Blondie’s Deborah Harry at the
mike. Or the Ramones fronted by a Gregorian Shangri-Las.

The Raveonettes have been a source of inspiration for a wide range of bands, and according to NME, helped spark the American pop renaissance that took place in the 2010s with bands like Best Coast, The Drums and Dum Dum Girls finding inspiration in the Raveonettes' classic pop sensibility.
