RONKER’s sophomore album out now on LABELMAN!
It’s finally there! RONKER‘s “Respect The Hustle, I Won’t Be Your Dog Forever” is out now and we couldn’t be more proud of what these boys have created.
On this album, RONKER sounds more ambitious than ever. A concept-album about coping mechanisms and the antics of a rock&roll-lifestyle. The band is presenting a more layered and sophisticated sound than its predecessor; the result is a record that is equally shaped by the likes of David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars as it is by Refused or Slayer. Still as aggressive as before, but with a more old-school approach to songwriting with big choruses and even bigger riffage.
The dog is off the leash. RONKER is coming.
Listen everywhere.
Limited vinyl is close to selling out, order now!
