Raga Rockers is considered one of the big 4 bands of Norwegian Rock, being formed by previous Kjøtt drummer Michael Krohn in 1982.

Their core sound is built around mixing rock n' roll riffs and rhythms with punk elements, often including heavy sarcasm and satire in their lyrics. Throughout their 12 studio albums they’ve also experimented a lot with other genres and styles, with each release sounding totally unique from the next.

The band name comes from the band taking melodic inspirations from raga music, as well as thinking it looked cool on print.
