Starting out as a standard RockAndRoll dance band in TheFifties, they finally found success in the middle of TheSixties playing hard-edged GarageRock influenced by Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}} and Music/TheYardbirds.

They had five Top 10 hits in America between 1965 and 1967, before their particular style of good-time rock fell out of favor at the end of the decade. Shortening their name to just "Raiders", they scored a surprise comeback hit in 1971 with "Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)", which hit #1 and achieved Platinum status. In the middle of all that, singer Mark Lindsay launched a solo career alongside his work with the band, scoring a Top 10 hit of his own with "Arizona". Also guitarist Freddy Weller had a concurrent career as a CountryMusic singer, which he continued even after he left the group.
