Raven, a goth rock band from Lauderdale, has an definite European feel. Its lead singer and songwriter, Davey Strenler, is from Switzerland. His songs are effused with melancholy but are delivered in more of a pop/rock style rather than punk or hardcore, making the words more accessible. Dayn Evans’s distorted guitar and Jamie Lipinsk’s driving bass round out this angst-driven group. (www.skopemag.com

With an album release and European tour approaching, Nova High students Jamie Lepinsky, 15, and Dayn Reese, 16, have much more to worry about than midterms.
Lepinsky, a bassist, Reese, a guitarist, and 17-year-old Davey Strehler, a vocalist, form the band The Raven. The eclectic trio recreates the look of David Bowie, blends European metal with glam rock and has an all-around mysterious aura.
Reese, a junior, and Lepinsky, a sophomore, met Strehler when he moved to Fort Lauderdale from Switzerland. " popped into the garage one sunny morning," The Raven's manager, Catee Delaloye, said in an e-mail. With their debut album, The Missing Piece, set to release next year on Purple Rose Records, the rest of the world can listen to these rockers on a range of subjects.
"Romance, loss, sadness, anger, frustration, death and irony" are topics on the album, Strehler said. The self-proclaimed "occult" group also mentions religion and its dark aspects, a topic that bands sometimes find difficult to tackle.
The Raven, though, is happy to have a supportive legion of fans. They already have more than 5,500 friends on The Raven's official MySpace page.
"It is very lovely to see that everyone around us has been so supportive; we couldn't have done it without them," Strehler said. "Hearing that [we're the next "it" band] just makes me feel even more like I'm on the right track."
Strehler, who graduated from high school in London, plans to attend Berkeley College after the band's tour to major in music, while Reese and Lepinsky plan to graduate from Nova.
They said a major European tour and fame will not interfere with their studies. "It's tough, and I sure am going to be doing a lot of work on the plane rides," Reese said. "But this is my dream, and those are sacrifices I am absolutely willing to make in order for it to come true."
United States of America (Kerrang) January 20, 2009 -- The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” was originally released on their 1966 album “Revolver”. Who knew that in 2009 a young rising metal band called “The Raven” would revive a song that was one of The Beatles most recognizable and unique songs? The cover was recorded at Dark Horse Recording in Nashville, Tennessee, accompanied by the Tennessee Symphony Orchestra. Davey Strehler, lead singer of the band, says,“I was sitting in my room one evening listening to the Beatles, and as soon as I heard Eleanor Rigby, I knew that I had to cover that song. I was aware that it was going to be tough, to not only keep the integrity of the song, but turn it into something that would keep The Beatles fans happy and that our fans could still head bang to.” And that is exactly what he accomplished---the song has bridged two completely different genres and made a masterpiece that can be enjoyed by all ages. If you are having trouble picturing a metal version of "Elenor Rigby," soar over to The Raven's Myspace profile and have a listen! (www.myspace.com/theravenofficial)
