The Ray Summers are a Scottish six-piece who formed in 2008 and bonded over a shared love of harmony, melody and, most importantly, making people dance!

The boys have since gained a reputation as a raucous live act who’ve added a much needed splash of colour to the Scottish music scene. They have subsequently caused waves at festivals such as Rockness, T in the Park and The Camden Crawl leading to a number of support slots with established acts including The Bluetones, The Charlatans and Idlewild.

The boys’ single, Heshka Rashka, from their debut album is enough to make you want to dance your socks off.

"Over the past 12 months they’ve amassed a growing fanbase thanks to thrill-packed tracks like Crazy World or The Shepherd and a brilliant live show that’s guaranteed to leave you wearing a grin.” – News of The World, 9 for 2009

Their influences are taken from a number of genres, which have impacted on their song writing. The boys draw inspiration from the likes of Love, The Coral, The Bees and The Super Furry Animals and expertly combine them with the bands own tongue-in-cheek sense of humour.

Heshka Rashka shows how The Ray Summers effortlessly meld their boisterous live sensibilities with the ability to convey their sound on record without compromise, and is sure to be the soundtrack to your festival season.
