The decade 2000 was a great period for British indie rock, with the growing success of bands like Franz Ferdinand and the Arctic Monkeys. The London-based Rakes were part of that wave and brought their own take to that style. They released three albums featuring the dual guitar stylings of Alan Donohoe and Matthew Swinnerton. A few singles live on after their breakup, including Retreat and All Too Human.
