"R.A.M.O.N.E.S." is a high-octane love letter to the leather-jacketed legends—think sun-bleached rebellion meets garage-soul swagger. &nbsp;<figure id="figure-ozdhqvd4pm7tacix7"><img id="ozdhqvd4pm7tacix7" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/49XHU3kCoYjXdDPxeOZ9jwksxerXN3DOoOdIx3uXTbDgDkMpyS5Hc4OrZLnBv53b.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/49XHU3kCoYjXdDPxeOZ9jwksxerXN3DOoOdIx3uXTbDgDkMpyS5Hc4OrZLnBv53b.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure> The accompanying video amps up the vibe with a kaleidoscope of vintage visuals, frenetic energy, and a nod to the DIY ethos of punk’s golden era.
