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, a razor-sharp 25-minute uppercut aimed at both heads and hips, will be released in spring 2023. 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 opening for Metallica in Amsterdam. For their second album, instead of producing it themselves again, Ramkot hired producer Alain Johannes (QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal, Them Crooked Vultures), who invited them to the Joshua Tree desert. For three weeks, Ramkot stayed at the legendary Rancho De La Luna Studio, famous for QOTSA frontman Josh Homme's The Desert Sessions. "We pulled out all the stops and didn't put the pedal to the metal the whole 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.
