David Raven and the Escorts - S/T EP

David Raven and the Escorts were a three piece from Vancouver, British Columbia. I'm guessing the band probably formed around 1979 or so. They released a single, a couple of EP's and a full length titled, " Stab in the Dark". Not sure if it's legit but all three guys are named David?

Frank Miller said...: A fairly common occurrence of the time. Many defectors from 70's rock outfits jumped on the Punk/New Wave/Powerpop train. I know it was often frowned upon but some of the crossover resulted in a more professional approach. I guess you could look at that as a positive or a negative but some classic tunes were yielded, none the less. Thanks for the Comment!; January 23, 2022 at 1:47 PM
