Ahoi, we are Rackham..s Revenge!
The band, at first called The Capsized, was founded in the beginning of 2004 in the small town Bad Reichenhall / Bavaria. After a short period with different guest musicians, the right constellation of band members was found, and we started to make music in the 77..style, inspired by bands like “Voice of a Generationâ€, “U.S Bombs†and 77..Punkrock Bands. In the winter of 2005 we changed our name to Rackhams Revenge due to a mysterious wave of Capsized- band foundations
In a brief period of time and because of a convincing live performance we had the honour to share stages in Germany, Austria, Belgium and Basque Country with internationally known bands. Now only an album was missing.
2007,Our debut-album is finished now and was released on May, the 14th.
2008 March we had the honour to be a part of the “No Front Teeth Recordsâ€-Sampler.
2008 June, 5 new songs were recorded in Berlin witch are going to be released Year 2009. The Songs are Produced and supported by “Moerk TV†from the “Radio DEAD Ones.â€
2008 November, we finished our first Basque Country - Tour
How can you describe Rackhams Revenge?
There are many different influences that are contained in our sound. Now it..s exclusively Streetpunk from the early nineties as well as 77..Punkrock. which contributes to our sound. The lyrics are mostly socialcritic but there is also the classic rock n.. roll hymn with the catchy refrain.
Finally here is a list of the more famous bands with which we already played:
Mad Sin (D), Born to Lose (USA), Peter Pan Speedrock (NL), Los Fastidios (I), The Nerves(D), Aurora (HU), Radio DEAD Ones (D) and many more
