The Ragtag Roots: "747"

The Ragtag Roots formed in 2014. The rock band, from Zurich, Switzerland takes their baths in the basses, bask in the tubes of the amps and lets the drums bite where it itches. 
 
Their music is influenced by 60’s rock&roll, blues -/punk rock and a touch of country, which is clearly visible in the songwriting. Bands such as AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jimi Hendrix are a few of their greatest influences and continue to form their unique style. At a time where rock music is banned from the runway of the party people, the Ragtag Roots join the counter-demonstration. One of the band members once said: “shit guys, our band has been around for longer than my longest relationship ever has! Maybe because we‘re allowed side projects“

On July 14th 2019, 5 years after their formation, the Ragtag Roots released their debut album Along the Way including the single “747” which according to the band “was written on a Tuesday on the front porch of an old building close by the lake of Zurich. The song is about trying to escape your situation. Taking a 747 and leaving everything behind. On the other hand you have something holding you back, giving you strength making you rethink your situation and realizing, that in the end it might not be as bad as you thought it'd would be in the beginning..”
