Rapture and Ruin

About Me

The Slowdance started out in in the Summer of 2005 and it took until summer 2006 to sort out a solid lineup, since when we've been gigging as frequently as we can.
We recorded two demo songs in late 2006 with Todd Campbell and they are here for you to enjoy. We recorded again with Todd again in the summer of 2007 and these tracks can be found on our debut EP 'Rapture and Ruin' on Rat Patrol Records (Chuck Ragan, Mexican Disaster Squad, In The Red & Attack Vipers) available now at http://www.ratpatrolrecs.com
We are always looking for gigs, if you need to contact us either send us a message or leave us a comment, if you're not a myspace member then email us: [email protected]
You can also speak to us individually if you want, just click on the names in the band members section.
We have been lucky enough to play with:
The Cut Ups / Chillerton / Above Them / The Draft / Walter Schreifels / Attack Vipers! / OK Pilot / The Dead City Stereo / Milloy / The Don Ramos Players / Restless Youth / Shaped By Fate / Captain Insano / Gunrack? / Haddonfield / Former Cell Mates / From Plan to Progress / Blackbeard / The Computers / SKWAD / The Meltmen / Mike Borgia / Bedford Falls / Twist the Knife / The Arteries / A New Day / Almost Home / No Good Reason / Damaged Goods / The Plight /
and we're looking forward to meeting the rest of you.
