The New Rags

The New Rags are the world's only Pop, Rock and Ragtime duo! Based in New York, their performances, complete with catchy pop songs, hooks, harmonies and instrumental interludes, show off their influences which range from Scott Joplin to Ben Folds, from Brian Wilson to garage bands of the 1960s. Their debut album "Gotta Get Out Of Here", the follow up to the "Take Jennie To Brooklyn" EP (available now), will be available at the beginning of 2010.



"The music could have been made any time in the last 40 years, from the sound of it, with a likely date closer to 1965 than 2005. But the excitement never lets up, and the listener never wants it to stop"

"a bracing blend of Ben Folds, Mark Mothersbaugh, John Lennon and Ray Davies, all banging away on a carnival midway to provide the soundtrack to a clearly uninspected and obviously dangerous carousel"
