"With a sound and style reminiscent of the unapolagetic rock groups of yesterday Raine takes their brand of rock and leaves no doubt of what they are capable of" - CHICAGOSROCK.COM
Hailing from Lombard, Raine Nation showcase the entire gamut of their rock diversity in a mere six tracks. The disc launches with the frenetic verbal and rhythmic assault “Given” then kicks into the harmonica-tinged rocker “Gear Daddy” before sliding into “Cryin’ In The Rain,” which sounds like a long-lost Poison ballad. The short set finishes with an amped-up cover of The Beatles’ classic “Come Together.” While still relying primarily on in-your-face electric guitar riffs, Raine Nation prove they can do a whole lot more.

Bio
Formed in early of 2005 Raine is composed of members who's goal is to bring back the brand of Rock N Roll that made you want to join a band in the first place! We take pride in being an original band and it's just as raw and unapolagetic as the bands before us were.
Blending elements of Classic rock, blues, & funk into our own sound we aim to deliver the kind of rock n roll that makes you move! We aren't going to tell you how good we are, we can only tell you how good it feels to see people singing along with our originals or shaking it up to the covers we use as a "sonic Handshake". It's what YOU the listener think of our shows that matter above all.
Early in 2007 Raine's self titled EP was released which shortly recieved a review in the "Illinois Entertainer" Magazine.
