Ray and Paul are two brothers from the SF Bay Area who formed the band together when they were just 17 and 13 respectively.

Their first single “Mystery” in 2019, written when Ray was seventeen, made waves in their Bay Area Community and went on to feature in several Spotify Editorial Playlists, giving them the platform to record their Self-Titled Debut Album. “Butterflies” off the album landed a sync placement in HBO’s The Sex Lives of College Girls.

Moving to Santa Barbara for college infused their music with Surf/Garage Rock’s reckless energy and let them cut their teeth while playing shows all over Isla Vista and integrating into the local band scene. In October 2023, the band released the track “Pelican” which is currently their number one track on Spotify. The follow up single “Blue”, which expanded their sound further by featuring vocal melodies over heavier guitars, has quickly become a favorite in the live show.

This year Ray and Paul have been touring all over the West Coast, selling out numerous clubs along the way. The live band also features Aidan Reese (guitar) and Mac Bihn (bass).

Ray & Paul also recorded several new songs with John Goodmanson (Weezer, Pavement, Nada Surf, Hockey Dad) at Robert Lang Studios and an EP with producer Jarvis Taveniere (Mile High Club, Surf Curse, Allah Las) which is set to be released in 2025 via AWAL.
