about plaid raptor
-
Formed in 2017 as a free jam band for 40 something dudes looking to have fun. Over the next few years songs developed and an album was made and released in 2022. Late that year, founding guitarist Nels Chick stepped away from the band. 2023 saw the band refining its sound and securing a new guitarist. The harder rock/metal songs from the first album are the basis for the sound on the new album and Film score, which takes the sound of Plaid Raptor in an even darker and increasingly fun and uplifting path. In early 2026, Plaid Raptor recruited a new lead singer, who brings a much needed grit to our brand of raptor metal.
