Raveonettes, Black Angels Bring The Noise

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) October 23, 2009 12:58 pm
Austin, Texas psych rock band The Black Angels were a good match for The Raveonettes on this North American tour, as both groups revel in using lots of reverb and feedback. But while The Raveonettes surround those aspects with melodies and harmonies to create great, compact pop tunes, The Black Angels songs usually tend to drone on a bit too...

The Raveonettes — In And Out Of Control

in
By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) October 9, 2009 3:46 pm
The latest offering from The Raveonettes isn't a bad album by any means, but it's about as substantial as a piece of candy. In And Out Of Control lacks the booming, heavy rush of Whip It On and Chain Gang Of Love, the sheer dark pop perfection of Pretty In Black and even the pretty, haunting moodiness of Lust Lust Lust. It just kind of sits...

Lollapalooza 2009 Was For The Kids

in
By Mike McCann (CHARTattack) August 14, 2009 3:54 pm
Festivals like last weekend's Lollapalooza are supposed to be irresistible to music fiends. You know, like Yogi Bear can't say no to a picnic basket. I attended the first seven Lollas back when it was a) a traveling carnival and b) more culturally relevant, so I've struggled the last few years between wanting to go to the new "destination...

The Raveonettes — Lust Lust Lust

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) November 26, 2008 1:02 pm
Pretty much every analysis of The Raveonettes contains some variation of the line "combines the Jesus And Mary Chain with girl-group harmonies" and Lust Lust Lust will do absolutely zero to change that. In fact, if anything, Raveonettes principals Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner have actively embraced that notion on their fourth album to...

The Raveonettes Suffer From SXSW Burnout

By Liisa Ladouceur (CHARTattack) March 24, 2008 1:30 pm
Damn you, SXSW! For weeks, those of us not traveling to Austin, Texas have to read of your gazillion gigs and BBQ parties. We temper our envy with the anticipation that some of your hot tips will roll through our towns next, as they tour around North America to support their big Texas adventures. But this year, you've taken that from us too. With...

The Raveonettes — Pretty In Black

in
By Matt Semansky (CHARTattack) June 14, 2005 10:51 am
The Raveonettes have always reached back to the early years of rock 'n' roll for inspiration, but never so blatantly as they do on Pretty In Black. Songwriter Sune Rose Wagner is no longer restricting himself to b-flat chords and guitar fuzz, and his Buddy Holly and Everly Brothers influences now bubble cleanly to the surface. But Wagner and...

The Raveonettes — Chain Gang Of Love

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) August 26, 2003 9:45 am
More consistent and captivating than last year’s debut EP, Whip It On, The Raveonettes’ first full-length is a real swooner. The Danish duo’s influences (The Jesus And Mary Chain, Mickey And Sylvia) are so obvious that it’d be ridiculous to fault them for their thievery. Rather, their shameless pairing of ‘80s guitar fuzz with ‘50s romance creates...

WATCH: The Raveonettes - "Let Me On Out" official music video

By Natalia Buia (CHARTattack) November 17, 2011 12:32 pm
Danish duo The Raveonettes really know how to make one feel down in the dumps. With their new video "Let Me On Out" off their fifth studio album Raven in the Grave, they present haunting visuals for an already gloomy song. Guitarist Sune Rose Wagner calls "Let Me On Out" the least commercial song on the album, but the band felt like making a...

Sune Rose Wagner's carrying a mysterious flag in The Raveonettes' video for "Recharge & Revolt." It's got a strange white bird on it, and seems to resemble the cover of their upcoming Raven In The Grave album.He walks through frozen and warm landscapes, and at one point a CN train passes by him... hmm... was this clip partly shot in Canada?...

Song Of The Day: The Raveonettes' "Forget That You're Young"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) February 18, 2011 5:04 pm
The Raveonettes say they've moved away from their traditional sound on their upcoming Raven In The Grave album. The Danish duo say it doesn't feature their typical surf drumbeat and is more ethereal. While making heady, blissed-out rock tunes is nothing new for Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo, "Forget That You're Young" has definitely got more in...

As a fan of The Raveonettes' albums, I expected great things from them in terms of live performance. But after waiting for weeks to see them, I was disappointed to find that the Danish duo were not as engaging onstage as I had hoped. While North By Northeast's Yonge-Dundas Square was the ideal venue for some acts, The Raveonettes would have...

WARNING: The Raveonettes' video for "Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed)" is graphic, pretty disturbing and could be triggering for those who've gone through trauma. But it's got a point. The clip features pictures of people who've been raped (and in some cases, also murdered), headlines about violent crimes against women and bombs...

Raveonettes Blame It On The Dane

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) November 30, 2009 12:06 pm
The Raveonettes love to keep you guessing. Since releasing Whip It On in 2002, the '60s girl group-loving, Jesus And Mary Chain-channeling Danes have been tantalizing and frustrating fans with their double-edged sword of irresistibly catchy pop and ear-splitting guitar noise. One minute they're dark and dangerous, the next they're light-...
