On sophomore album, “Respect The Hustle, I Won’t Be
Your Dog Forever”, Belgian speed-noise band RONKER
sounds more ambitious than ever. A concept-album
about coping mechanisms and the antics of a rock&rolllifestyle.
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.
Although RONKER likes to profile themselves as pleasant
rascals with big hearts full of love, they are not really
known for being the happiest kids in school. Now the
time has come to bring that anger to the stages again
and burn down the expectations with a new batch of big
speed-noise songs. Always suffering, forever nervous.
Respect the hustle. Unleash the dogs of war. The RONK
is coming.
