The Ragg sound has gone through many transitions and has had many influences. Originally when Monique Grajeda started the band the intention was to inter-mix the fast and fun riffs and energy of punk with the hard and serious heavy tones of rock. Somehow they were interpreted as a cross between the Slits and the Raincoats both female fronted bands of the 80's pop punk scene. Later as new members came into Ragg the influence shifted toward more of a pop punk sound with also quite a bit of an eclectic potpourri of various songs each of styles representing punk, rock, alternative, melodic rock, ska, and instrumental. The core sound of Ragg was starting to stretch its niche into an undistinguishable message. Ragg reformed again with a new singer and a much more defined print in the heavy rock sound with light tones of punk flavor. Often influenced by the rock music of LA 80's bands the current sound is also engrained with the taste of new metal . The most surprising facet of Ragg is their live performance. Not to be underestimated the female portions of this band slap the audience in the face with powerful vocals, impressive guitar patterns, energetic stage athletics, and glowing personalities. Ragg is in its natural state in the world of rock/metal/punk and hopes to be creating their unique blend of character for a long time to come.
