Band: THE RAPTURE (1998–2014, 2019–present)
Singular post-punk dance act from New York.

Album: ECHOES
Released: 8 September 2003 – 20 years ago

PITCHFORK review: “The Rapture are only one of about 10,000 bands ushering in this
thing that’s gotten labeled “dancepunk,” but it’s important to note that they were among the first… Bands like The Rapture have sent their message: The rock show was not meant to be a collegiate study. We have all stopped caring what snotty academics find acceptable, because now there is real, true, palpable fun, and it is the greatest liberation.” – Score: 9/10.

TURN UP THE VOLUME! says: Funky punky, P.I.L and The Pop Group influenced,
party capriciousness. A mind-boggling dance floor triumph for all indies out there.
