FIRST RAYS ONLINE PRESS KIT

Constantly evolving and spiritually powerful, FIRST RAYS is putting the heart and soul back into music. From the days of garage punk, to the reggae sessions, to the vibrant sound they give you today, the friendships and visions of these four musicians have created an atmosphere of musical bliss. After years of band rotation and experimentation, FIRST RAYS came together in October 2002 in a dynamic synergy of creative forces. The band continues to entertain their fans and exceed the expectations of those who are soon to be. Based in Arlington, VA, FIRST RAYS has embraced the local music scene and shown a thirst and desire to spread their music to all who will listen. Regardless of mood, background, or taste, FIRST RAYS pulls you into their world. As the vibe, sound, and experience penetrate the soul, one thought comes to mind: "This is the music I've been searching for." Pulling influences from Classic Rock, Roots Reggae, Drum-and-Bass, Punk, Hip-Hop, Blues and Funk, FIRST RAYS takes you back to the beginning of it all, and thrusts you into the future.
