History

Formation and early years (2006–2009)

Sent by Ravens was formed in January 2006 by James (Jamie) Windham (bass), Andy O'Neal (guitar) and Zach Riner (vocals). In August 2007, while searching for a drummer, Windham found Dane Andersen through a video he posted of himself playing on YouTube.

The group released two EPs independently in 2007 and 2008.

Our Graceful Words (2009–2010)

In August 2009, the band signed to Tooth & Nail Records, on which they released their debut studio album Our Graceful Words in April 2010.

The album charted at No. 35 on Billboard Top Heatseekers.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Sent by Ravens” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sent, Ravens and American provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7451165. VIAF identifies the subject as 232739735.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
