Halloween 2024 RELEASE:
'Around Midnight (The Wolf's Lair) [2024 REMIX]'. Gothic blues... dedicated to the lovely Evelyn Ankers (The Wolf Man, The Ghost of Frankenstein, etc - including many comedy and adventure films). Remix and remake of my 2018 album track, with new vocals, bass and more... A blues shuffle of somber delight, just in time for All Hallows' Eve and this fall's lengthening shadows of night. Hear it on BandCamp.

LATEST RELEASE:
'Don't Blame Me Man' / 'Walk On Fire' two song single released December1, 2023 is the second installment on the next solo album. 'Don't Blame Me Man' featuring ex-Know drummer Joel Turrisi is an alt-rock rant while 'Walk On Fire' is a song depicting romantic obsession...

PREVIOUS RELEASES:
'Every Little Bit' / I Don't Need You, a two song single released December 2021, are the first songs to be released from a new (and as yet unnamed) album that is still a work in progress.

'Mystery Monkey Remix', released August 2019, revisits and remixes two songs from that first album: (Waitin' for The) Mystery Train' is given a clearer more punchier mix and 'Monkey See, Monkey Do' is reworked with electric 12-string guitar and new vocals.

In 2018 he released his first solo album of original songs 'Mars 12, Earth 0' and soon after the same album's backing tracks: 'Mars 12, Earth 0 - (Instrumentals)' (a nod to 'Stack-o-Tracks'). The music ranges from Surf and Neo-60's to driving alt and indie rock and ends with a hypnotic tone poem.

Raw Terra's music is released through DistroKid and so is available almost everywhere in the known universe.
