Ray and Paul are brothers Ray Holmberg (lead vocals, guitar) and Paul Holmberg (drums, vocals), whose indie rock sound pairs melodic hooks with raw energy and an instinctive musical connection as brothers. Raised in Northern California and now based in Los Angeles, the duo grew up in a household of musicians, with Nirvana, Pixies, and The Velvet Underground providing the soundtrack to their childhood. Those influences remain part of their musical DNA, shaped into a sound and chemistry all their own.

Following their independently released, self-titled debut album, the brothers launched their own imprint, Desert Lady Records, and partnered with AWAL to release their EP Fading last year, produced by Jarvis Taveniere (Surf Curse, Woods). 

That partnership continues with their forthcoming EP, Hearsay, scheduled for release in 2027. The first single “Get It Right” is the first of four tracks recorded by Joe Chiccarelli at EastWest Studios in Los Angeles. Chiccarelli’s experience (The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Shins) brings Ray and Paul’s sound to a new level while keeping the raw emotion and signature songwriting that fans have come to expect from the brothers.

Fresh from a month-long Australian tour, Ray and Paul are headlining shows in major U.S. cities ahead of Hearsay, bringing their high-energy live performances to a growing audience.
