Innovative songs earned The Raspas 1st place at 91 Production's Battle of the Bands at South Padre Island. This placement earned the band free studio time, thus creating their EP entitled Cani Bus. Their song "Irie Life" was labeled the reggae 'Track of the Day" on the internationally well known website, Garageband.com, after only one day of reviewing. A month later, the song became "Track of the Week". Don't miss this chance to check out The Raspas at Ruta Maya! www.theraspas.com |
