Ramkot
Biography Ramkot
Ramkot
are a musical wrecking ball from Ghent, Belgium, and representatives of powerful yet danceable rock music. After two EPs and building a reputation as one of the most exciting live bands in Belgium ever, their debut album In Between Borderlines will be released in spring 2023, a razor-sharp 25-minute uppercut aimed at both the head and the hips.
They tour extensively, playing a whopping 100 shows in just one year: from steamy venues and sun-drenched festival stages (Pinkpop, Down The Rabbit Hole) to supporting Metallica in Amsterdam. For their second album, instead of producing it themselves again, Ramkot have hired producer Alain Johannes (QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal, Them Crooked Vultures), who invites them to the Joshua Tree desert. For three weeks, Ramkot will be staying in the legendary Rancho De La Luna studio, famous for The Desert Sessions by QOTSA frontman Josh Homme. "We pulled out all the stops and didn't push the accelerator all the time, which allows the music to breathe more. There will be some softer songs that fans don't expect from us." But one thing is clear: every single note still sounds very much like Ramkot. The band will only play a handful of shows this year, including 2000 Trees (UK), Sziget (H), Pukkelpop and Lowlands.
