R.A.M.B.O. sign to Relapse Records, debut single
'Defy Extinction' will be the band's first full length in 16 years
Official press release:
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based hardcore punk legends R.A.M.B.O. return and sign to Relapse Records for the November 4th release of Defy Extinction, the band's first full-length album since 2006! The cover art, track listing, preorders, and more have been posted along with a video for the album's lead single and title track.
R.A.M.B.O. unites drummer Jared Shavelson (The Hope Conspiracy, None More Black, Paint It Black), guitarist Andy Wheeler (Reagan Squad), bassist Bull Gervasi (Policy Of Three, Four Hundred Years), and notorious 1990s-2000s Philly punk scene promoter Tony Croasdale on vocals.
They might have gone out at the top of their game but now, fifteen years later, R.A.M.B.O. is back with their aptly titled new album, Defy Extinction. This is not a nostalgia trip, or an attempt at recapturing past glory; R.A.M.B.O. has their sights trained on the present. On these sixteen tracks of pounding, epic, crust-infused hardcore punk and beatdowns, R.A.M.B.O. is imploring you to believe in science, fight authoritarianism, and most of all Defy Extinction!
Vocalist Tony Croasdale states:
"R.A.M.B.O. is stoked to announce that our new album will be released, excuse me, unleashed, on Relapse Records on November 4th. With a local connection and global reach, Relapse makes perfect sense for R.A.M.B.O. We have known folks at Relapse for a long time, starting when Bull and I put on Brutal Truth and other shows in West Philly warehouses twenty-five years ago, and it continues with our friends on staff and in active bands in the label now. Defy Extinction is a love letter to people and wildlife. The beauty of humanity and nature is worth fighting for."

Hahahhahahaha that cover wtfff lololol Also: I'll give you a war you won't believe Also: they drew first blood Also: Adriaaaaaaan
dude finally had enough common sense to shave off those ugly stank ass dreads white people with dreads deserve death lol
That R.A.M.B.O acronym is as stupid as you think it would be.
These guys have always had a deep affinity for birds.
Self righteous hipster blowhard Tony is a f*cking sellout twat. But he's always been a doichebag. Future of MallCore. Punk/hardcore has become a huge joke. But it aint even funny.
They're not gonna outlive any bastards if all they want is to trust the science. Globohomo new speak. Good luck with those jabs.
That one dude is giving the middle finger in the picture so they must be a tough punk band!
How does Relapse stay afloat?? Are there really enough fat s 0 ys out there buying records of this shit?
Woke hipsters. Go woke, go broke. Or in their case, never make a dime in the first place
they look like vaxxed and boosted philly trash
These dudes are legends, and I asked for this. Finally U lock justice returns
Lambgoat's genius is showing with these comments. People who didn't pass 2nd grade vocab and phonics. Octuple jabbed and gay btw
so is this another herp derp we're against the system mannnn but make sure you vote commie/democrat type of band or are these guys actually smart? my money's on the former but... i've been wrong before.
John J. Rambo here. I definitely did not ask for this nor did they ask if they could ask for this. Pay me a visit. Let's see who draws first blood.
