RONKER is not the first state-of-the-art speednoise band to ever exist, but they are the first to coin the term. Formed in the Belgian swamplands in 2020, the band arrived screaming bloody murder and is now hailed as one of the fastest-rising acts in the heavy music scene.

RONKER doesn’t believe in the “difficult second album.” They strike while the iron is hot. On sophomore LP ‘Respect The Hustle, I Won’t Be Your Dog Forever’, the band sounds more ambitious than ever. Recorded live at Number Nine Studios in Ghent, Belgium, the record is a concept album about the frustrations of “hustle culture.” The sound is a sophisticated melting pot: equal parts David Bowie and Slayer, retaining the aggression but adding big choruses and old-school songwriting.
