| Description: | The new RONKER album â??Fear Is A Funny Thing Now Smile Like A Big Boyâ?? is not only an ode to celebrating naivety, the album is deliberately kept unpolished and playful. Itâ??s a kind of DUPLO-metal, opting for simplicity and a broad color palette. Itâ??s a tribute to the edge-walkers within society. While RONKERâ??s anger was initially internal, it is now more extraverted and outspoken. Self-hatred had given way to the fear of growing up. Throughout the album, the band shifts the narrative and mocks the need for rat racing and conformity in beige tones. On this debut album, the band sound hungry, nervous, and indulges in its bipolar nature: the carelessness of post-punk and the concrete character of 90â??s alternative metal both contribute equally to their DNA. In their concoction where bits of hardcore blend with noise, indie, prog and punk. No house is sacred anymore.
- Additional Vocals on Denderslijk by Emile Dekeyser (THE RATS), Sander Rom (L'ITCH), Stefan De Graef (PSYCHONAUT) and Rosie Stuart.
Recorded between October 30th and November 6th at Motormusic Studios in Mechelen, Belgium. |
