Founded In
Athens, Athens County, Ohio, United States
Formed in the Appalachian foothills of Athens, Ohio in 2011, The D-Rays draw from a wide number of garage/surf/punk influences to deliver their own brand of stripped-down, dirty, original instrumental rock. No Walk Don’t Run, Wipeout, or Miserlou here, this is something different.
“Listening to the track “The Morgellon Creep” off of their self-titled album, I imagine The Ventures being demonically possessed. Or The Stooges recording Raw Power with Dick Dale. Imagine those surf tracks from the early 60s recorded by bands like Blue Cheer, MC5, or a “roid-raged” Animals.”
Ohio Rocks the Fort – EA Poorman, Fort Wayne Reader
Driven by bass player Missy Pence and drummer Maceo Gabbard, The D-Rays’ live show reflects the short attention span of guitarist Erick Coleman. Onstage, the band gets right down to business- their set features original tunes that rarely break the two-minute mark. The result is a fast-moving show centered around a powerhouse rhythm section and reverb-soaked guitar.
The D-Rays waste no time ripping through a tight, energetic set with tunes that will bounce around in your head days after.
