GLORY BOUND

Taking off where their two EPs left off, "Glory Bound" shakes at your gut. The ten tracks on this debut LP fuse rock'n'roll, punk and reggae music with The Ratchets' very own explosive blend of songwriting... And because the hits are stacked from beginning to end, for the uninitiated, this is the perfect place to step in - the car is freshly waxed and idling and there's a full tank of gas. This band sure as hell can't be summed up with a simple Clash comparison, nor a "saviors of rock'n'roll" declaration; The Ratchets would never allow something like that to be said about them... but if you love rock'n'roll then you're already tethered to the ten songs on this record... drop it down and find out why. From the rousing "Human Amplifiers" and "Rockers Taking Over" to the soulful "Cathedral Bells," The Ratchets have hit their mark, delivering an album with both substance and sound, something music journalists love to write about but bands rarely accomplish.
