South Wales Indie-rockers ‘Ratoon’ released their brand new digital single ‘Are You Feeling Fine?’ on Friday 22nd May via streaming platforms. After the release of Ratoon’s debut EP entilted ‘Butterfly Effect’, which included the songs ‘Missing’ and ‘Out On My Feet’, the band have accumilated over 50,000 collective streams. Quite a record for the lads; Eifion Davies (vocals,rhythm guitars), Sam Davies (Lead Guitar), Matti Huxtable (Bass) and Josh Davies (Drums) to top with this track. But I am sure they will give it their best.

After a string of successful live shows across the country, and tallying up quite a die-hard and devoted fanbase, Ratoon can look back in glee at the glory of appearing at the Isle of Wight Festival and playing alongside such indie legends as The View & Alfie Templeman. Those fans have likened them to The Royston Club, Safari Gold & The Now.

With recent gigs in Monmouthshire and Builth Wells, and more gigs promised across the summer that fanbase will no doubt swell. Ratoon have enjoyed support from National Radio Stations ‘BBC Radio Wales’ and ‘BBC Radio Cymru’, with support stemming from Adam Walton and Mirain Iwerydd, where they were announced as ‘New Band Of The Month’

Reviews for indie-rockers, Ratoon, are overwhelmingly positive. Critics and fans praise their youthful, high-energy live shows and debut EP ‘Butterfly Effect’ for it’s emotive storytelling and polished, catchy indie anthems.
