Raising Cain are one of the few bands who can play hard-edged country rock and sensitive country ballads in the same set to great effect.
They have quickly established themselves on the UK country scene as a group with great enthusiasm and energy.
However, 'Raising Cain' today, is a very different proposition to the band that first took to the stage on 10th June 1995.
Although the idea of playing country rock was a motivating factor in those early days, the North East pub scene just didn't seem to’ get it’!
As a consequence, despite sneaking in some country style numbers, the pressure to compensate and play songs that were more ‘user friendly‘, became very frustrating.
In March 2004 the band decided to take a long break to regroup and rekindle their enthusiasm.
In July of 2006, Raising Cain rose again, this time with a determination and resolve to play uncompromising country rock.
It seems to have paid off.
