Stark Raven
Stark Raven has been around for over 20 years now, playing good old classic rock, as well as their own original songs.
Well, we haven’t rehearsed in about a month, so it was so nice to get together and rock tonight. No pictures, no videos, just enjoying what we love to do and have really missed the last few weeks. So much fun!
Here is a link to the Christmas songs we have rocked out to in the past. Hope you enjoy them! 😊

Well, apparently our version of Blitzkrieg Bop is getting more attention than we were even aware of. My goodness, this is just mind boggling, but we are loving it. 😊😉
Over 400,000 views, 19,000 likes and 1,400 comments….wow, this continues to amaze and humble us. We certainly appreciate it, and especially appreciate the many positive comments. This is so very cool. 😊😉
Just for fun, we tried speeding up ELO’s Don’t Bring Me Down, and you know what? It was really fun!

We were just fooling around and Joe started playing this song based on what Rich was drumming. So we worked on it, had a lot of fun with it, and it started sounding pretty good.

Got together with our original drummer, and Florida resident, Joe Coratti tonight and had a blast. First time playing together in at least 2 years, and it was as if we had never stopped playing together. Here is our original song, Life’s Just a Bitch.

We are amazed and humbled by the success of our video cover of The Ramones’ Blitzkrieg Bop. As of this post, it was about to go over 84,000 views, with over 4,000 likes and hundreds of positive comments. Yup, a bunch of us older guys still rocking, seems to have hit a ‘chord’ with a lot of viewers. Heck, we are having fun, and if others enjoy our music, that is a real nice added bonus. This is way beyond cool.😊😉
