Act 3 of Raggedy Angry's audio assault on the world will be released in Europe on Danse Macabre Records on October 1st. The new album, How I Learned to Love Our Robot Overlords, is the second Raggedy Angry album to be mixed by industrial mastermind Dave "Rave" Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson) and it finds the Toronto-based electro-rock quintet narrowing in on a sound that started developing on the previous album, Pestilence: synth-heavy, raw and aggressive, yet tight and hooky as Hell.Having previously made their mark supporting their 2008 release Pestilence by touring Europe with The Birthday Massacre and Canada with Die Mannequin, Raggedy Angry seized the attention of Vancouver-based Synthetic Entertainment, a management firm whose roster includes SNFU, Left Spine Down and iVardensphere. After hearing just a couple of songs from Raggedy Angry's MySpace, Synthetic founder Mark Sommer insisted on working with Raggedy Angry. Likewise, Ogilvie was hooked by Raggedy Angry's mix of crunchy riffs and electronic hooks after hearing their 2007 debutTake Me, Break Me, Make Me Pretty.
Wherever they go, however they are heard, Raggedy Angry are worming their way into fan's hearts and minds and taking no prisoners. Listen to the new single and new track samples at www.myspace.com/raggedyangry
