The Rapture


Luke Jenner is the lead singer and guitarist of the New York-based dance-punk band The Rapture. He possesses a countertenor voice.

Jenner was born in Southern California.[1] Growing up, he worked in many record stores, which exposed him to all types of music genres. Upon moving to New York, Jenner says it was then that he was exposed to dance music. The New York music scene influenced his band's sound, which is often described as a fusion of indie rock and disco.[2]

Jenner and The Rapture cite their early inspirations as PIL, Television, Rocket From The Crypt, Gang Of Four and Chrome. As their musical style shifted more towards the dance genre, they saw Chic, The Byrds, The Happy Mondays and Timbaland as musical influences.[3]

In Echoes-era, Luke used a Telecaster, after Pieces of the People We Love he started to use a Les Paul Junior. In the recent 2010 recordings he has being played a Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster[4]. His singing style is a frill Falsetto style.
