Here It Comes by The Ramrods

If you're a regular here you might have noticed a liking for the D. Was channel at My Damn Channel. So no apologies for another dip of the lid in that general direction.

There might have been some dispute about who owned the name and the songs when they reformed a few years ago but the current incarnation of Detroit's Ramrods undeniably pack a hefty left hook. This a song I first heard on a Dark Carnival bootleg. Dig the audacious Ig-moves from vocalist Ivan Suvanjieff (aka Mark Norton, an ex-editor of Creem magazine.) Clearly a band that knew which side of its bread the peanut butter was on.
