Kickstarter Ritual: new single »Rock ‘N’ Roll« out now!

»Rock ‘N’ Roll«, the brand new single by Kickstarter Ritual, is out on all major digital platforms, accompanied by a music video on YouTube.

The track anticipates the band’s upcoming album – a raw blend of acid rock and garage – set for release in summer 2025. The 9-track record will be available both digitally and on physical formats through Cheat Records.

The »Rock ‘N’ Roll« music video is a psychedelic and retro visual trip, taking the viewer into a parallel universe of saturated colors, dusty film textures, and heavy 70s vibes. Between analog kaleidoscopes, visual distortion and lysergic symbols, the video perfectly reflects the raw, visionary energy of the song, celebrating the wildest and most visceral side of rock.

The band shares the meaning behind the track: “»Rock ‘N’ Roll« is a song about how this genre struggles to survive. Social dynamics, the cult of forced originality, and the evolution of live music are drifting away from the roots of rock, transforming into something new that leaves little to no space for up-and-coming bands.”

About Kickstarter Ritual:

Kickstarter Ritual is an Italian power trio born in 2014. Over the years, they’ve explored a soundscape ranging from stoner to glam rock, garage to soul, constantly evolving and reshaping their identity.

Their songs are acid, powerful melodies made to be screamed out loud – a distorted, sharp blues-rock: raw, disillusioned, desecrated and bastardized by three worldly hermanos.

Kickstarter Ritual tell tales of aimless interstellar journeys, desperate missions and galactic failures: they are an unextinct mammoth wandering through hostile worlds in a never-ending pilgrimage in search of a home that does not exist.

So far, the band has released three EPs and one full-length album, all self-produced.
