Biografia:
A banda The Rakes - Alan Donohoe (vocal), Matthew Swinnerton (guitarra), Jamie Hornsmith (baixo), e Lasse Petersen (bateria) - surgiu em Londres no verão de 2004 com o hit "22 Grand Job", que foi lançado como um 7" de edição limitada pelo selo Trash Aesthetics. Com uma sonoridade característica da cena londrina da época (leia-se Bloc Party, Art Brut, etc.), lançou o seu primeiro álbum ("Capture/Release") em 2005, pelo selo v2.
Lançaram seu segundo CD em 2009 e se separaram em outubro do mesmo ano.

C#m A F#m A
We danced together on the roof at the party,
C#m A F#m A
Five stories removed from the trouble on the street
C#m A F#m A
the sun arose revealing goose bumps on your arm
C#m A F#m A
A sign that we should move together somewhere warm.
Chorus:
E C#m
We Danced Together, We danced together
(repeat)
C#m A F#m A
We moved to the street where they tried to hold curfew
C#m A F#m A
and ran among the debris as the bullets flew.
C#m A F#m A
Helicopters circled overhead to get a better view
C#m A F#m A
We found a doorway, fell in and I held you.
[Chorus]
Chorus Extra
(same chords as chorus)
we didnt give a shit about what they would say...
and stayed up until the light turned our world/eyes grey.
we caned the money like it was our last day
two fingers up at those who wont miss us when we pass away
This was all mine. C.Jones
