Biography
THE BAND RAMBLE AND WAKE STARTED BETWEEN TWO FRIENDS AND NAVY BUDDIES IN 2008. CURRENTLY LIVING IN A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD CALLED NORTH PARK IN SAN DIEGO, CA, SPENCER KYOSHI AND JAMES ROSENKRANZ BOTH QUIT THERE DAY JOBS (SPENCER AS AN INTERNET MARKETING CONSULTANT AND JAMES AS A MANAGER FOR A CANDY DISTRIBUTOR (NO SERIOUSLY) AND STARTED A SMALL MARKETING COMPANY FROM HOME. THEY ULTIMATELY MOVED IN TOGETHER SO IT WOULD BE EASIER TO MANAGE THE BUSINESS AND START BUILDING THE HOME STUDIO THAT WAS DEINITELY NEEDED TO BE PART OF THE DIY MOVEMENT (AND SAVE MONEY).
RAMBLE AND WAKES MUSIC CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS FOLK ROCK MUSIC WITH CATCHY RIFFS AND MELODIES, ACCOMPANIED BY WRITING AND LYRICS THAT MOSTLY CONSIST OF REAL LIFE RELATIONSHIPS (GOOD AND BAD), PERSONAL BATTLES WITH DEMONS, VICES, BAD HABITS AND THE DESCRIBING OF AN ALTOGETHER UNBALANCED TYPE OF PSYCHE BEING EXCERCISED AND ADDRESSED THROUGH THE EXPRESSION OF SONG. SOME OF THE EARLIER MUSIC OF RAMBLE AND WAKE WAS PRIMARILY ACOUSTIC, MAINLY DUE TO WANTING TO JUST KEEP THE BAND AS A TWO PIECE, BUT THE BANDS ENERGY AND SOUND IS NOW DEVELOPING INTO MORE OF A (FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD) SIMPLE BASIC ROCK SOUND.
BUT EVEN WITH THE SHIFT FROM PRIMARILY ACOUSTIC TO MORE ELECTRIC, AND OVERALL MORE EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC, THE BAND STILL STAYS ORIGINAL, ORGANIC, SOULFUL AND MANAGES TO SOUND LIKE…WELL, THEMSELVES.
