Ramshackle Glory

Born out of Tucson, Arizona, Ramshackle Glory is a punk band, who formed in early 2011. The band is characterized by unconventional instrumentation, an attention to lyrical content, and gritty lead vocals mixed with pretty backups. Songs document cycles of hope and despair on a personal and political level, focusing on topics related to addiction, recovery, and anarchism.collectively released their first album, "Live The Dream", in the summer 2011. However, during the fall of 2011, Pat the Bunny released a solo album called "Die the Nightmare" under the name Ramshackle Glory. "Die the Nightmare" contained all of the songs from "Live the Dream", except with only Pat performing the songs. On June 1, 2012, Ramshackle Glory released their second full length album, "Who Are Your Friends Gonna Be?". The members of the band are Nick Berger on accordion and vocals, Disdane on bass, Douglas Fur on banjo and tambourine, Eric "Johnny" Freedom on trumpet, Luke Romano on drums, and of course, Pat "the bunny" Schneeweis on guitar and vocals. They have a pianist named Wyndham Maxwell, but he is currently attending college and can no longer tour with the band regularly, although he still performs at some shows. Ramshackle Glory went on a 68 day, nation-wide tour of the United States beginning on June 1, 2012, and ending on August 8 in San Antonio, Texas.

Ramshackle went on a hiatus after their 2012 summer tour, during which drummer Luke Romano's side project Cottontail released a new album and went on tour. During this time Nick Berger released an album through their project Devil's Coachwhip, and another album with their new band Fridge Scum. Douglas Fur released a new four song tape and moved out to Pittsburgh. Pat released an EP of brand new solo material called The Mark Inside. In early 2013 it was announced that Ramshackle Glory would be releasing a split LP with Ghost Mice, and a kickstarter fund was launched adjacently. The project was funded very successfully, exceeding the goal by thousands of dollars and the Shelter split was released in June 2013; July on vinyl through Plan-It-X Records. In late June, the band embarked on another summer tour, this time with a slightly different lineup. During this tour, they brought in activists to make short speeches to advertise their groups or projects in the middle of the band's concert set. The tour, which also featured The Taxpayers, ended in August.
