It’s a kind of DUPLO-metal, opting for simplicity and a broad colour palette. It’s a tribute to the edge-walkers within society. While Ronker’s anger was initially internal, it is now more extraverted and outspoken. Self-hatred had given way to the fear of growing up. Throughout the album, the band shifts the narrative and mocks the need for rat racing and conformity in beige tones. On this debut album, the band sound hungry, nervous, and indulges in its bipolar nature: the carelessness of post-punk and the concrete character of 1990s alternative metal both contribute equally to their DNA. In their concoction where bits of hardcore blend with noise, indie, prog and punk. No house is sacred anymore. What the press had to say about first single, ‘Slow Murder’ “Ronker shows no mercy and forges the most ruthless riffs to lash our ears.” – Dansende Beren “Ronker grabs you by the throat from the get-go with psychotic guitars, freaked-out drumming and demonic vocals. They waste no time, they commit slow murder in exactly 131 seconds.” – Turn Up The Volume “Heavy, chaotic, brutal… Those are the words that come to mind when listening to ‘Slow Murder’.” – BrothersInRaw “The perfect appetizer for the upcoming album.” – Rock Tribune Artist Ronker Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Labelman Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Professional Facebreaker Kennedy Slow Murder Fear :) Denderslijk Boys In The Elevator HIIT Black Toast Wallswallswalls Hools Ballad Of The Big Boys Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Tepid Peppermint Vol 2 Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | A Recordings | 180g, 2LP Released 17th November 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Tepid Peppermint Vol 2 £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: A Recordings SKU: AUK027LP Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 17th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eagulls Eagulls Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Partisan Records | 1LP Released 26th February 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eagulls Eagulls £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Partisan Records SKU: PTKF21091 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dead Best Second Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Don Giovanni | 1LP Released 12th January 2024 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dead Best Second £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Don Giovanni SKU: LPDG279 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hammered Hulls Careening Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Dischord | 1LP Released 28th October 2022 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hammered Hulls Careening £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Dischord SKU: DIS193 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Still Corners Dead Blue Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Wrecking Light | 1LP Released 16th September 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Still Corners Dead Blue £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Wrecking Light SKU: WL001LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Crows Beware Believers Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Bad Vibrations Records | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 1st April 2022 £18.00 - £22.00 Select options Crows Beware Believers £18.00 - £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Bad Vibrations Records Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 1st April 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Wild Pink Wild Pink Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Tiny Engines | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 24th February 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wild Pink Wild Pink £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Tiny Engines SKU: LPTE163 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Meatraffle Hifi Classic Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Trashmouth Records | 1LP Released 3rd June 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Meatraffle Hifi Classic £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Trashmouth Records SKU: TMR8LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jad Fair and Samuel Locke Ward Destroy All Monsters Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Kill Rock Stars | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th September 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jad Fair and Samuel Locke Ward Destroy All Monsters £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Kill Rock Stars SKU: LPKRS738C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View X ALPHABETLAND Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Fat Possum | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 21st August 2020 £17.00 - £18.00 Select options X ALPHABETLAND £17.00 - £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fat Possum Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 21st August 2020 Read More Select options See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
