JOHN GALLAGHER Says Working With His Brother MARK In RAVEN Is ‘A Great Asset’: ‘We Don’t Fight Like Those Other Idiot GALLAGHER Brothers’ From OASIS

RAVEN bassist and vocalist John Gallagher says working with his brother, guitarist Mark, is a “great asset”, crediting their shared musical vision and complementary styles. He contrasted their relationship with Oasis brothers Noel and Liam, saying they do not fight and that he could not imagine playing with anyone else.

John said Mark often produces songs spontaneously, while he takes a more measured approach and develops ideas together with Mark and drummer Mike Heller, who has contributed riffs to new material. He also explained that the band’s five-song 2024 EP, “Can’t Take Away The Fire”, was recorded as a stopgap while Heller rebuilt his studio in Texas; three live tracks were added to the release. RAVEN postponed its 2025 European tour after John underwent emergency brain surgery for a subdural haematoma.
