Why Not?
Raging Case is a Colorado Springs-based rock-n-roll band that is dedicated to making good music and having a good time. Their music is based on hard-rocking rhythms, singable melodies and meaningful lyrics. The band has been together since 2005 and continues to pump out new songs.

The "idea" behind Raging Case is to make good music with lyrics that mean something. So, here's how the guys define good music - guitar, bass, drums and vocals with a heavy edge. Their music is powerful, catchy (hooky, if you will) and singable. You can even dance to it if you feel so inclined. And the bonus? The lyrics. They cover everything from inner conflict and relationships to identifying the stupidity that we are constantly being spoon-fed by the media and entertainment industries. So, the music goes well with white or red wine; or beer.

All of the guys in Raging Case have been around long enough to get over the sex and drugs part of "sex, drugs and rock-n-roll." They aren't looking to become rock stars. They are inspired solely by the joy of playing and sharing their music. Of course, a little money thrown into the mix doesn't hurt (wink, wink). However, the boys do not play for beer. Whiskey, maybe, but never just for beer.

Nothing like a real live drummer. Sure beats a real dead drummer. Randy signed on with Raging Case in October of 2004 and hasn't been asked to leave yet. That might be a new record! He's been playing drums since he was five, is a self-professed KISS 'freak', and lists Gene Krupa, Scott Travis, John Bonham, and Pat Torpey as influences. Must be something in the genes since his father and brother are also drummers. Randy plays Sonor drums and enjoys understanding the tiniest intricacies of his instrument. His metronome-like, near-perfect meter and laid back personality make him a perfect fit for the band, despite the fact that he hates guys named Brad and Keith. And bassists. And guitarists. Good thing he ended up in Raging Case, no?
Brad Olson
Hometown: Colorado Springs
Drug Test Results: Negative
Avg Hours of Sleep: Four (on a good day)
Nickname: Ripper

Brad joined Raging Case in August of 2005 bringing with him a slew of great riffs and impeccable chops. Brought up listening to bands like KISS and Black Sabbath, Brad was first driven to play guitar when he was only seven years old. Inspired by shredders like Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, and John Petrucci, Brad has been refining his tone and chops for nearly 20 years. Brad uses Paul Reed Smith and Gibson guitars, ENGL amplification and D'addario strings.
Keith Varney
Hometown: Tampa, Florida
Sign: Libra
Eyes: Bloodshot
Favorite Food: Wife
Nickname: Sparky

Keith is the bass player, lead singer and tyrannical leader (iron-fisted) of Raging Case. His primary bass/songwriting influences include Rush, Bob Daisley, Alice In Chains, Derek Smalls, Soundgarden, Dee Murray and Johnny Otis, just to name a few. His vocal influences include Ozzy Osbourne, Brad Delp, Daryl Hall (shut up), Kelly Groucutt, and Amaya Uranga. He has been playing bass and guitar for too long, currently brandishing Fender basses, and SWR amplification. He's is trying to incorporate a set of Roland pedals into the band's live performances without hurting himself in the process.
