History

Raising the Fawn was formed by Crossingham, in 1997 as a solo recording project, but soon was joined by Remilla. [1] They released their self-titled first album in 2001. [2] The group grew to four members with the addition of singer Julie Booth and drummer Jon Drew. [3] [4]

The EP By the Warmth of Your Flame came out in 2003. 2004's The North Sea, recorded two years earlier, contained lively, rhythmic arrangements. [5] By the time it was released, Booth and Drew had left, and Green was the band's drummer.

In 2006 the now three-member band released The Maginot Line. [6] The album was recorded near Kingston, Ontario [7] and was a combination of indie rock and shoegazing music with heavy percussion. [8] That year the band toured Canada to promote the album. [9]
