Pan For Punks... A Steelpan Tribute To The Ramones is now officially out in the USA and later in this year (2005) in the Europe etc. Also includes a DVD video of Blitzkrieg Bop.

How sounds idea of this tribute CD - Pan For Punks... A Steelpan Tribute To The Ramones! I bet, you'll be surprised positively. Tracy Thornton is from North Carolina, USA and he has produced and performed 14 Ramones songs which makes you pogodancing, or like he said: "Just imagine if CBGB's were located on one of the Caribbean islands - it would sound exactly like Pan For Punks... A Steelpan Tribute To The Ramones!" Warped speed filled with chants minimal (and great) way and steel drums played in a new atmosphere etc. really works out also because Tracy Thornton captured the fun and melodic essence a way which gets you so happily surprised.
Release also includes a DVD video of Blitzkrieg Bop. Video is also in "speed" format and it has Ramones street influence on it. Tracy and I has got great feedback of Pan For Punks... A Steelpan Tribute To The Ramones for example from (Ramones related people) Ida Langsam, Donna Gaines and Monte Melnick. Among of 14 songs are for example I Wanna Be Sedated, Rockaway Beach and Outsider. Tracy does of Pinhead slower version with a bit spiritual attitude, but after it comes smily version of Do You Wanna Dance? and a bit heavier We're A Happy Family.
