RAISING ROCKERS is a journal of observations by the father of the brothers as they first discovered and then pursued their passion to produce and perform rock music. It charts their story through childhood, winning a talent show and on to playing in various bands such as their own power trio, Civil Punk, and finally to making up three-fifths of BAD ACTRESS. There are encounters with numerous bands in the live music scene, including a few well-established musicians associated with some big names in the industry. Colour is added in the form of interviews with some of the many musicians, bookers, promoters and others who worked with, performed with or simply watched the band develop.
