The Rakes formed in 2004, taking their name from the fact that they are “skinny as rakes”. Since coming to fame in 2005, they have been associated with the British post-punk/art-rock scene, a genre that lumps bands like Bloc Party, Maxïmo Park, and The Futureheads in one convenient cluster. However, it could be argued that the Rakes originate from the east London/Whitechapel punk scene - along with The Others, The Libertines.

The Rakes write songs about working life, mundane routines, and escapism as shown on their acclaimed debut album Capture/Release that spawned the singles “22 Grand Job,” “Work, Work, Work (Pub, Club, Sleep),” and “Retreat.” Several of their singles have appeared in the UK top 40 list and their album Capture/Release reached #32 in the UK Album chart. Their take on working life has led some observers to describe them as the world’s first post-David Brent band. The “22 Grand Job” video shows them playing in an office environment - one of the main themes to their songs.

The Rakes accompanied Franz Ferdinand on their ‘You Could Have It So Much Better…’ tour during the winter of 2005. They toured the UK throughout January and February 2006 - supported by White Rose Movement, Duels and Switches. Their London Astoria date sold out so far in advance that another London date - at Shepherd’s Bush Empire - was added.
