Raised by Swans

Raised by Swans is an indie rock band from London, Ontario, Canada. The band consists of singer-guitarist Eric Howden, guitarist Alex Wright, bassist Andy Magoffin, and drummer Brady Parr.

The band's first full-length album, "Codes and Secret Longing", was recorded at Andy Magoffin's studio House of Miracles and released in March 2005 on their own label 1101.

Raised By Swans' song 'Violet Light' is featured in Douglas Coupland's film "Everything's Gone Green", as well as being included on the soundtrack, released by American independent record label Lakeshore Records, a division of Lakeshore Entertainment. Their music has also been featured on the Canadian television shows "ReGenesis" and "Whistler", as well as the CBC Radio 3 podcast.

Three of the band's songs will be featured in Atom Egoyan's newest film, entitled Adoration, set for release in 2008.

Raised By Swans' second album, thus far untitled, is nearly completed and will be released in the fall of 2008.
