Where Independent Music Finds Its Voice

Asgard Raven: Indie Rock Sensation from Hampshire Blending Punk, Blues, and Britpop Influences

Asgard Raven, fronted by singer-songwriter Joe from Hampshire, UK, is an indie-rock project inspired by personal experiences during his Army deployments. Joe’s passion for music began early, drawing from influences like The Doors, Oasis, and the Sex Pistols. His unique sound blends elements of punk, blues, and Britpop, producing a nostalgic yet fresh auditory experience reminiscent of early 90s rock records. His music is recorded at Sunrise Sound Studio and produced by Marc Burford of Echotape, with guidance from legendary Oasis manager Alan McGee.

Notable releases include the singles « Until Another Day » (2021) and « Rollercoaster » (2022). Asgard Raven’s music often explores themes of love, support, and the human experience, with upcoming tracks « Light of My Life » and « For Us All » set for release in 2024. Looking ahead, Joe aims to continue writing, performing live, and building a dedicated fanbase. His journey is marked by a commitment to authenticity and the power of music to connect with others.

Parle-nous de toi, qui es-tu et d'oĂą viens-tu ?

I’m Joe, lead singer, songwriter and guitarist. I’m from Hampshire in the UK.

Comment est née ta passion pour la musique ? Qui sont tes idoles ?

My passion for music started at an early age, listening to the Doors, Chuck Berry, Faith no more, sex pistols, old blues, and my bloody valentine. I loved the energy and emotion that music can give you. My real idols are the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Oasis and Puddle of Mudd, I’m a real rock n roller at heart!

Quel genre de musique fais-tu ?

I make indie rock songs, influenced with a bit of punk, blues, Britpop and shoe gazing, which produces a unique and distinctive sound. I have written a mixture of acoustic songs, anthemic epics and some out and out bangers!

Quelle est la chanson la plus importante pour toi ? Quel message veux-tu transmettre Ă  l'auditeur ?

I have two at the moment. Light of My Life is a love song, written about a special lady who is always there supporting me, and saying what I find hard to say in real life. The other is For Us All, which talks about how we can’t always tell when people are struggling, but we can lean on each other and support each other.

Pourquoi un auditeur qui ne te connaît pas devrait-il écouter ta musique ?

I make the music I love, I put my heart and soul into every track, and I love to feel the foot stomping vibe, the love and hope, and the power of music. If you too love rock and roll you’ll love these songs I’m sure, you have nothing to lose by giving it a listen!! Except a few minutes of your day!

Quels sont tes projets futurs ? OĂą te vois-tu dans 5 ans ?

I’m releasing the last of 5 songs currently scheduled for this year, so will take a break for a couple of months and write some new tunes. I’m practicing my live performance so will be concentrating on that aspect for a while too, and I’m hoping to release more songs next year. In 5 years I hope to be playing lots of gigs, and to have a decent record deal, maybe even have a few fans!!

Raconte à nos lecteurs un épisode amusant qui s'est produit dans ta carrière d'artiste.

On my next record which comes out in October, I wanted a whistle blast on it. I went and bought one and we tried it, then bought a load more – of course ended up recording the first one! It took us about 2 hours to record a one and a half second blast, couldn’t stop laughing it was so ridiculous – sounded awesome in the end though thankfully.
