Hometown Sounds

The Raised By Wolves started with two high school friends, drummer/vocalist Dusty Durston and guitarist Ben Eskin, coming together after college to craft powerful pop songs influenced by 90s pop radio. Their debut album Sadie Hawkins came out last summer as a free download, and subsequently the pair assembled a full band to perform live. I caught them at DC Music Download’s anniversary blowout at the 9:30 Club a couple of months ago and was definitely impressed. Yesterday PureVolume premiered their debut music video for “Freddy Freaker”, a surreal and meditative film helmed by new director James Robertson.
