In the late nineties, The Huntingtons released High School Rock, which is still one of my favorite ramonescore records from that era, and which is pretty hard to find – I am still rooting for a reissue on vinyl. Around that time, the band also released a record full of perfectly executed Ramones covers called File Under Ramones. It was a major step up from the previous Ramones cover album they did: their 1996 redo of Rocket to Russia which they dubbed Rocket to Ramonia and was, well not exactly perfectly executed but fun nonetheless. Fast forward 25 years, Burn Toast Vinyl owner Scott Hatch approached the band to rerecord the album for a 25th anniversary edition. Reluctantly, the band agreed and went in the studio for a couple of days after just one rehearsal, only to be pleasantly surprised by the result. I am less surprised, as these guys probably could play any Ramones song in their sleep. Anyhow, they just released the first song on a single, and make me excited for the full album. The flipside is another cover, but from The Riverdales. Both songs are about Judy, you probably know them already. Back To Ramonia is out this summer (probably August) on Burnt Toast Vinyl and Sexy Baby Records.
