Dan Luke And The Raid

“Black Cat Heavy Metal” is the latest single from the five piece band, Dan Luke And The Raid. It is from their debut EP “Be Good” due out this Winter via the band’s own label.  Dan Luke And The Raid premiered the music video for the track via an Entertainment Weekly “Breaking Big” feature which highlights artists “topping the charts, going viral, and ruling our earbuds.” EW says “Black Cat Heavy Metal” sounds “both retro and futuristic” and compares the group to “The Beatles at their “Helter Skelter”-heaviest, early My Morning Jacket, [and] Pavement.”

“'Golden Age' is about the struggles of reveling through youth in the turbulent times we live in today," front-man Dan Shultz explains. "Finding yourself, in all the clutter. All the falsehoods of the political smile. All of the time wasted on getting wasted. It's about 'the dream.'"

Dan Luke And The Raid is a five piece psych pop band from Bowing Green, KY consisting of Daniel Shultz, Kendrick Brent , Patrick Stewart , Dylan Graves, and Anthony Joiner. Shultz and Brent have been playing in bands together since high school, cutting their teeth playing house parties and bars that would take their fake I.D.'s. Shultz also happens to be youngest brother of Matt and Brad Shultz from the Cage The Elephant.

So far, the five-piece band has already opened on tour for Declan McKenna and will soon join fellow southern-rockers The Weeks on Fall dates.
