RACK & RUIN

Rack and Ruin in the studio

About Me

Here's the agenda: Two brothers. Ten years - that's ten years - playing in three fine bands. Battles foughts, adversaries bested. Blood, sweat, beers and the devil may care spirit that best embodies fine ROCK N ROLL. Total recorded output for the freewheelin' lads? 4 TRACKS. THAT'S 4 TRACKS PEOPLE. Heaven help the pair of them, masters of whimsy both. Now - based in New Cross, London, with two studios on the go in their home. GET READY TO SEE SOME PROLIFIC RELEASING OF FINE MUSIC. The ambition is to hook out 2 full length LP's by the end of the year. Get ready to see some ace shows too. Get ready, ladies and gents: for the Rack n Ruin............... STOP PRESS: Second UK gig just announced at the fabbo Tap n Tin in Chatham - Saturday July 21st - round three PM, come one, come all ('cept Anna who'll be jetsetting at the appointed time, terrible sadnesses..........)
