The Death Ramps


Two people sent us a link to this in about 30 mins of each other (thanks Dan and Leigh), so I thought I'd share it. The Death Ramps seem to be the name the Arctic Monkeys use when they do a B-side or something. Richard Hawley's on this too. Looks like they're having fun.
If the Death Ramps ever want to release something on Sideburn Records we can put out people in touch with their people.

I can't work out what the bikes are for sure, but I reckon modern Bonnevilles. I wonder if this'll turn a million Monkey fans onto the joys of riding around Sheffield in a bubble visor. There are worse things to do. G

G...your observations are nearly right. During my conversation with the boys outside at Rollerburn, Matt mentioned he had a Bonnie that he was (quote) "having the cheap bits taken off !"....he was having the alloy/mag wheels changed for trad. spoked version. Alex, I'm sure had a Kwak W650....
