The Rainband are a four-piece indie rock band from Manchester, England founded in 2009 by lead singer Martin Finnigan and guitarist Phil Rainey – who made his name with Peter Hook’s cult combo Monaco. The line-up was completed when bassist Paul Daggatt and drummer Steve Irlam joined the ranks in 2010.

So far The Rainband have released three singles (‘Broken Youth’, ‘She’s A Rainbow’ and ‘The Prodigal’ feat. Rowetta of the Happy Mondays), and one EP (‘The Prodigal’). Their fourth single, ‘Rise Again’, a tribute to legendary MotoGP rider Marco Simoncelli will be released on 17th of June 2012. Double Superbike world champion James Toseland plays the piano on the track and will join The Rainband on stage in Norwich and at the MotoGP in Silverstone, in support of the project.
