Background
editBlues guitarist Oli Brown formed RavenEye in Milton Keynes in 2014 along with Australian bassist Aaron Spiers and drummer Kev Hickman. Shortly after the formation, the band toured Europe supporting guitarist Joe Satriani on a two-month tour during the summer of 2014. Festivals in Spain and a UK tour ended the busy opening year for the trio.[2]
In January 2015 the band's first single, Breaking Out received over 100,000 plays on Soundcloud in less than a month and was one of Classic Rock's Tracks of the week featured on their website.[3]
In April 2015, the band supported Swedish rock band Blues Pills in the UK.[4] This was followed by a two-week co-headline tour with Spanish band Last Fair Deal through Spain.[5] Through June and July 2015, the band supported Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators.[6]
The band's debut E.P Breaking Out was released on 28 April 2015.[6] Also released was a music video and lyric video for the titled track of the EP.

In August 2016, RavenEye announced their new drummer, Adam Breeze, from Hemel Hempstead after Hickman decided to leave the band.
