"A wide-awake look at the state of singer/songwriter pop-rock circa right now. Refreshing, challenging and often insanely catchy, the disc is a wonderful debut from a talented and promising young artist" - Lee Valentine Smith, Creative Loafing Atlanta
Bio / Background
"One of the most appealing female singers to emerge from the Atlanta area in recent years has to be the relatively unheralded Lindsay Rakers. With a sweet, girl-next-door personality and a knack for penning irresistibly catchy tunes, she radiates a warmth and sincerity in her voice that calms your innards and makes you wanna kiss strangers and give to charity. Supported by an accomplished but pleasantly non-flashy band – guitarist Mark Evers, drummer Ron Burns, and bassist Jeff Hall – Rakers dwells in conventional pop-rock with slight country undertones that, interestingly, shine stronger when the band plays live, when they almost come across like a spunkier version of Sugarland. Only they’re good! Hunt down their excellent, newly-minted CD, Less Asleep, and see if you concur." - Jeff Clark, Stomp and Stammer
"Roots rock, alt-country, whatever you want to call it, all I know is it sounds pretty damn good to me.
↓ more ↓Rakers reminds me of Maria McKee during her stint in Lone Justice. This is an album full of ballsy, rip-roaring songs with clever lyrics of love and loss in much the same vein as songs by the Bottle Rockets. Another favorite of mine. Very promising stuff coming from this Atlanta band. You better keep your eye on this girl." - J.R. Oliver, Ear Candy Magazine
“Rakers -- think a less salacious Liz Phair with a rootsy twist and a touch of Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis -- and her band make an admirable first step with debut album "Less Asleep." Both Rakers' voice, her sturdy band and the songs she sings have a likable, straightforward quality that seems familiar without being dull.” – Shane Harrison, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Less Asleep was recorded by the talented Rob Gal (Michelle Malone, Josh Joplin) at the Snack n Shack and Orphan Studio.
The Lindsay Rakers Band is one of those wonderful rarities. A singer-songwriter backed by seasoned professionals, creating positively powerful pop-rock-jangle. Alt country with an urban edge and a message of hope.
