The Rapture were a
rock band from
New York City, formed in 1998. The band's final line-up consisted of Luke Jenner (lead vocals, guitar), Vito Roccoforte (drums, percussion) and Gabriel Andruzzi (keyboards, bass, saxophone). The band mixed influences from many genres including
dance-punk,
post-punk,
acid house,
disco, and
electronica. They were forerunners of the
post-punk revival during the early 2000s, as they mixed their early post-punk sound with electronic and dance elements.
