Are a three-piece band formed in 2016 by Jim and Spuck, who were later joined by an old friend Chris, on drums. After writing a set of songs, they started playing gigs in the Glasgow area and over in Holland and Germany. They recorded their first LP (self-titled) at 16 Ohm Studio in the East End with friend and former bandmate (Machine Gun Etiquette drummer) Tommy Duffin.

After a few more gigs, Chris had to flee the country and a new drummer was soon found in an old mate (and former bandmate with Jim in Bronski Beat) Stoney, who was a, welcome addition to the fold. Time to write some new songs and do a few more gigs (insert here maybe?), they set about recording their second LP (Fractured, again with Tommy at 16 Ohm), which had to get cut short due to a certain pandemic hitting the world. After that calmed down a bit, the LP was eventually finished (and mastered by Ben Brown), then a few more gigs.

Ramrod hit a bit of a lull and were going to call it a day, until they decided to keep going with the help of a second guitarist. so they asked Finnish friend and luthier, Sami Koivisto, if he’d like to fill the void, which he graciously accepted. Sami wasn’t long to pick up the songs and the band are back in rehearsing and writing new songs as we speak.
