It's that time again, another band I quite like have called it quits.

A statement from the band explained that their hearts just weren't in it any more. "The Rakes have always been very adamant and proud of the fact that we give 100 per cent to every gig we've ever played," the statement read.Bummer.
"If we can't give it everything then we won't do it. That was the rule we set ourselves from day one. After much deliberation we have come to the shared conclusion that we can't give it 100 per cent any more and regret to announce that The Rakes are calling it a day."
Play it loud, play it proud.
EINS, ZWEI, DREI, VIER!

Shame that. A very underrated band.
Not great by any means, but the pop scene will be all the poorer for their demise.
