  • Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease) July 18, 2025 - Boston-area heavy metal veterans B.F. Raid are proud to announce their official inclusion in the 2025 Rock Rage Radio Summer Sampler, a major national promotion aimed at spotlighting the next wave of standout rock and metal acts. Their track “Becky,” taken from their 2024 album Raided Again, has been selected as the featured song—marking a significant new chapter for the band as they expand their reach to thousands of new fans across the country and beyond.

    The Rock Rage Summer Sampler is a multi-platform, eight-month campaign spanning over 4,500 terrestrial and digital radio stations. These include Rock Rage Radio and its extended network of genre-focused stations such as Tattoo Metal Radio, Mud Radio, Brews Radio, and Country Rage Radio, with additional support and coordination provided by Curtain Call Records. As part of the campaign, B.F. Raid’s “Becky” will be included on sample CDs and download cards distributed at major festivals, concerts, and industry events throughout the remainder of 2025.

    Beyond physical distribution, the promotion also includes more than 1,500 radio commercials in which B.F. Raid’s music will be prominently featured. The band will also receive a dedicated 30-second custom commercial, broadcast up to 100 times across Rock Rage stations to promote their back catalog and build anticipation for their upcoming fall release, Combat Zone. Fans can also expect to see “Becky” appear on the Rock Rage Festival Playlist on Spotify, on the network’s YouTube playlist, and in regular rotation on Anthem TV and the Rock Rage Radio Network. Social media promotion, an artist spotlight, and an exclusive interview round out this extensive rollout.

    “Becky,” with its gritty swagger and sharp hooks, quickly became a fan favorite from Raided Again—an album that marked B.F. Raid’s return to form with a refined sound that embraced their roots while pushing into more melodic and story-driven territory. The track’s inclusion in the Rock Rage campaign gives it new life and greater reach, setting the stage for what comes next.

    Speaking about the selection, drummer Jamie Forbes shared, “Becky has always been a live favorite—raw, catchy, and just twisted enough to make people lean in. Getting it out to a wider audience through Rock Rage feels like the right way to cap that era before we launch full-speed into Combat Zone.”

    Raided Again, released in early 2024, was B.F. Raid’s first full-length album in decades and helped reignite the band’s momentum with both longtime fans and a new generation of listeners. Now, with the follow-up album Combat Zone on the horizon—a heavier, darker, and more progressive body of work—this promotion serves as both a celebration of what the band has accomplished and a preview of what’s to come.

    B.F. Raid continues to represent the raw energy, blue-collar roots, and unflinching honesty of Boston’s underground metal scene. Whether through their explosive live shows or their ever-evolving discography, the band remains committed to delivering music that hits hard, tells the truth, and leaves a mark.
