Let’s introduce you with the band members of Ravenscroft

On vocals: Ralph Buso

Ralph Buso Singer Ravenscroft

Ralph is from South Bronx, New York. He started writing poems and lyrics during some of his dark times in early ages. Initially he started music with playing keyboard and bass in two bands. But after listening his powerful voice the band members suggested him to lead as singer.

Marie Malia Cote quotes about Ralph:

“Singer Ralph Buso’s head turning, robust voice reaches further into buried emotions and deeper thoughts in lyrics that bring out pain, penetrating our minds harder than we sometimes allow ourselves, while delivering the climatic resolution, release, evolution…widening the parameters we all need to open up to personal, interpersonal, political and universal understanding.”

On Drums: Pat Magrath

It’s not just a portal to fantasy for us, we know we’re here for this purpose and things have come together for us in serendipitous ways. We feel not just incredibly lucky but grateful and privileged to know each other and have this collaborative zen. We write about personal, real life situations.”

“My Dearest One”, and “The Chase”

In the year 2017 “Ravenscroft” released their two brand new songs called “My Dearest One”, and “The Chase”.

“My Dearest One” is a captivating ballad, showcasing the band’s ability to strip back their productions and deliver a genuinely powerful piece of music.

Whereas “The Chase” is the perfect contrast to “My Dearest One”, featuring more of what we’ve come to know as Ravencroft’s signature sound. Enormous sound from a wall of doom guitars, thunderous bass, and hard hitting drums. In January 2018 Ravenscroft is going to release a six song EP titled “Rebel” featuring these two songs.
