Artist's Biography

Can cool guitars also scream? Evidently they can and do - just as unrequited love can transform into obsession - Raw Terra's 'Walk On Fire' takes that journey.

Raw Terra is the alter-ego of musician Richard d'Andrea. Primarily a bassist, he is also a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was an early member of The Motels (in the historic Radio Free Hollywood lineup), The Know (with Gary Valentine and Joel Turrisi) and later forming Factor Four with Jeff Wolfe. He has also performed or recorded with many other musicians including Joan Jett, Michael Des Barres, The Halibuts, The Insect Surfers, The Furys, The Textones, The Roosters United, Bob Beland, Marc Platt, David Nigel Lloyd, Fur Dixon and Joao Erbetta.

Artist's Biography

'Don't Blame Me Man' will feature in the next Raw Terra EP. It was recorded with my ex Know bandmate drummer Joel Turrisi. (The Know was recently featured in the recent PBS documentary 'Chinatown Punk Wars' seen on KCET here in Los Angeles). Live drum track played in one take (and not quantized!) - the drums were actually recorded on a 4 track cassette Portastudio with 2 mics - but, importantly, in post we didn't edit the playing but carefully enhanced the sound. It's loud energetic indie-rock with a point of view!
