An alternative indie rock band formed in the Northeast, Abel Raise the Cain were brought together by a mutual love of atmospheric and epic indie soundscapes influenced by the likes of Arcade Fire, Sigur Ros and Editors.

The music video for new single ‘Black Swans’, taken from the forthcoming debut EP ‘For Strangers Only’, went straight to number one in the Beat 100 music chart which features bands from all over the world. The song also led to Abel Raise the Cain to win the Beat 100 Ultimate Musician award, recognising them as one of the most outstanding bands on the network.

‘Black Swans’ is a sign of things to come; an epic, sweeping message, the symphony of a Broken Heart.
