Rosanna's Raiders

A female fronted power trio from Australia, formed in 1981. Rosanna's Raiders recorded two albums on Pure Metal in Calling Down Fire (1987) and Clothed In Fire (1988) that, while not ranking with the heaviest releases of the era, delivered enough guitar driven edge to fall within the commercial hard rock and melodic rock categories. Lead vocalist, guitarist and composer Rosanna Palmer is the driving force behind the band. Showcasing an abundant vocal style that can best be described as equal parts emotion and equal parts refined. As a guitarist, she proves quite the unheralded musician. Rounding out the bands rhythm section is husband David Palmer (bass) and drummer Johno Zaffarese.
