THE RASKINS To Support TED NUGENT Throughout July; Video Trailer Posted

One of the most promising up-and-coming rock bands, The Raskins - led by the brother duo of Logan and Roger Raskin - are set to open almost a full month of US dates for the Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent.

Dubbed The Sonic Baptizim Tour, the trek begins on July 1st in Phoenix, and wraps up July 24th in Atlanta. A video tour trailer can be viewed below.

The Raskins are currently working hard on their second album at Henson Studios, with French producer/engineer Nico Essig (Coldplay, Paul McCartney, the Goo Goo Dolls), as well as producer Brian Virtue (30 Seconds to Mars, Jane’s Addiction, Kiss), and will also be issuing a new song “Never Too Late" to be released right before their summer tour (released on MIRAL Records).

"Can't think of a better way to release our new single," says Logan about the upcoming dates with the Nuge. "It's so wild to think that the Raskins get a chance to tour with such a rock icon as Ted Nugent," adds Roger. "Two of our favorite rock songs of all time are of course “Cat Scratch Fever” and “Stranglehold”.”

The band will also be adding a few new songs from the upcoming album into the setlist for this incredible tour with Ted Nugent. Joining Logan and Roger (who handle vocals and guitar/vocals respectively), will be Jet Lopez (guitars), Michael Reynoso (bass/vocals), and Troy Patrick Farrell ("the animal drummer").

After the Raskins finished up a 70 show run with Mötley Crüe on their final tour, the band came home and went straight into writing mode for the album. The brothers ended up writing and recording about 40 songs - 12 of which ended up making the cut for the new record.
