RAVAGERS (USA)
After their furious European tour in 2023, which will be remembered by every ’77 fan, they want to do it again and come back to Europe in 2025, The Ravagers from Baltimore, Maryland.
It’s easy to imagine The Ravagers as a group of rebel-rousing shit stirrers. Their songs call out obvious wrongdoing. The lyrics often paint dangerous, black landscapes that resemble a wet Danzig dream. But at their core, they’re here to have fun. Instead of putting out the rising flames of hell, these guys prefer to throw a Molotov cocktail and open a Natty Bo (famous Maryland beer).
The Ravagers have created their own brand of East Coast punk rock’n’roll. An aggressive mix of classic punk, early hard rock and glam, coupled with a mix of rousing guitars and melodies. They have been compared to bands like The Dead Boys and Turbonegro.
Since their formation in 2013, they have cut a swath across the US and Canada, with their first releases “Livin in Oblivion” (Cricket Cemetery) and “Natural Instinct” (Rock N Rule Records/Pork Magazine) in their wake.
The band brought Matt Gabs from BITERS into the fold a few years ago to help push the release of “Drowning in Blood” (Spaghetty Town Records) in 2018. During that time, the band supported major acts such as The Adicts, The Damned and FEAR and played at the Punk Rock Bowling Fest in Las Vegas in 2018.
After the release of the LP “Badlands” in 2022, produced by Tuk Smith of Biters and Dan Dixon (Spaghetty Town Records), The Ravagers went on a major headlining tour of the US, Europe and Spain. And in 2025 they are coming back to Europe with a brand new album called “On the loose” (Spaghetty Town Records/ Wanda Records).
