The Ragged Saints; new music from the sonic playground

After few years hiatus Finnish hard rockers The Ragged Saints are coming back with
an old school 80’s hard rock influenced record. The album titled ”Sonic Playground
Revisited” contains 10 new songs, and will delight not only The Ragged Saints fans,
but also fans of bands like Whitesnake, Def Leppard and Ratt to mention a few.

Stylewise, the band continues its path without compromises. They didn’t feel the need
to change too much. There’s a bit more keyboards and orchestration on some of the
songs and little synth bass here and there, but it’s the same songwriting team so the
style and sound are pretty much the same as before. Once again the studio was their
sandpit, their own sonic playground. „You can hear the same influences we had when
we wrote songs for our first album” says guitarist Toni Bite.

Band has been working on the album on and off for number of years. It has been a
working process since 2013 when the first demos came into being. But the start of
recordings took another year due to personal issues and other projects, giving the
band opportunity to distance themselves a bit and resume another perspective on the
song material. “Now we’re really happy with how every song turned out. We’re
looking forward to hearing what other people think, because we love the record. It’s
the kind of music we listen to at home” continues guitarist Tomi Julkunen.
