Following a short spell as a solo acoustic act Paul Reilly joined forces with long time friend Neil McLaughlin. With Paul Reilly on vocals and guitar, Neil on drums the search was on for a powerful bass player to complete the power trio. This void was filled by Ryan Caughey. Ryan (who also plays with another three piece:- The Vestas) joined in Feb '08 and RAISING GIANT was formed. With influences bassed solidly in rock and blues RAISING GIANT stand out as an outfit loyal to the rock genre. Blasting out soulful lyrics and oodles of addictive rock/blues licks RAISING GIANT will raise the bar in the revival of real rock music.
