Raising Sand were formed back in 2006 and all the members come from South West London. Formed by brothers Graham Barthram - Guitar and Greg Barthram on drums they were soon joined by TJ on Vocals and lastly Dave Pattenden on bass. The band are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album entitled 'All Out War' which should be completed and out early March 2009. Although never claiming they are re-inventing the wheel they combine what they describe as their own heavy brand of 'rhythm and rock' and have been getting a healthy reputation for supplying incendiary live performances all over London but aim to travel this year to spread the word everywhere.
