RainTown is a indie/pop/rock band created in 2022 by founding and current members, Robert Lithgow, Jamie McAtee, BJ Max-Who, Hazel Mclean and Megan Calder. Originally started as a uni project RainTown quickly went on to exceed the expectations of those in the band by growing quite quickly and acquiring gigs within the local music scene. During this time they wrote almost an entire albums worth of songs by their first gig and promoting themselves by releasing the singles "Sicc" and "Better places"

Starting off as just a drum track, “Sicc” takes inspiration from artists such as The Smashing Pumpkins. The song touches on feeling unequipped to navigate a crumbling world whilst trying to enjoy life at the same time.

“Better Places” is a tale of emerging from past relationships as a newer version of yourself. It encourages listeners to create a better life for themselves in the wake of bad experiences. The track offers an experimental take on the Indie genre.

The band is also noted for their fun takes on popular songs, most notably "proud Mary" by Tina Turner giving the track a hyped up modern rock feel to get the audience involved with the band.
