about

Ravi Shavi is the sound of garage pop: a concoction of classic punk, modern indie, and new wave, with a shot of rock n' roll. Known for their frenetic live show, Ravi Shavi performances have been characterized by the press as "relentless" and "inspiring dance floor seizures." Singer Rafay Rashid, born in Islamabad, Pakistan and bred in Rhode Island, fronts the band, keeping their music free of extra embellishments, which results in a communal experience that is high-energy, melodious, and raw.

After gaining momentum in the United States through DIY touring and supporting larger indie acts the past few years, Ravi Shavi is releasing its latest opus, Blackout Deluxe, on Brooklyn label Almost Ready Records. Produced by Jesse McFadden, who also produced the band's self-titled album, and featuring a dozen tracks, the record expands upon that garage-pop, at turns being both catchy as hell and virolently raucous. With Blackout Deluxe, the band has continued to make strides and carve out a scene for brown people making music in post 9/11 America.
