**The Raging Nathans** are a scrappy pop-punk quartet hailing from Dayton, Ohio, known for their catchy hooks, self-deprecating lyrics, and a sound that blends the urgency of classic pop-punk with a DIY punk ethos. Formed in the early 2010s around frontman Joe Wilkes (vocals/guitar), the band carved out a niche with relatable anthems about love, frustration, and everyday struggles, delivered with scrappy energy. They’ve stayed rooted in the underground scene, releasing music through indie labels like Rad Girlfriend Records and touring relentlessly, earning a loyal following for their earnest, high-octane live shows. Recent releases like *Cheap Fame* (2023), which includes tracks like *Nick at Nite* and *Looking Out for Me*, showcase their knack for balancing melodic grit with lyrical vulnerability. With a workhorse mentality and a catalog that feels like a mixtape from your punk-savvy best friend, The Raging Nathans keep the spirit of basement shows alive.
