“[The Ragetones] have nailed down the anthemic brightness of pop-punk while keeping the angst and sadness intact.”

The Ragetones

Emotional Alt Rock from Pueblo, CO

The Ragetones is a lyrically driven and emotional alt rock band formed in 2011 in Pueblo, CO, that takes influence from emo, pop punk, indie rock, ska, post hard-core and other realms of alternative music, rounded out by masc/femme duet vocals and a tenor saxophone to a create a unique, innovative sound.
Being a band consisting of poc/queer members in a music scene that is largely represented by males has been an interesting but rewarding experience, getting to bring a unique perspective to the genre.
