The Rapture

19.07.2003

Live at Miles Davis Hall

 

Some time ago, The Rapture were still an unknown post-punk band, an obscure offshoot of the New York  indie scene. The the trio bodly ventured forward, transforming themselves into a formidable dance machine. Proof of their reputation is their appearance, alongside The Strokes, on the compilation YES New York, which brings together the best bands in the Big Apple. Guitar riffs are the lightening, drumbeats the thunder as The Rapture spice up electro-rock with psychedelic sounds. (FFJM © 2003)
