Ramshackle Glory was an American folk punk band that came into existence in the early 2010s, known for their unique blend of punk energy and folk instrumentation interwoven with raw, politically charged lyrics. Formed by singer-songwriter Pat "The Bunny" Schneeweis after the dissolution of his former project, Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains, Ramshackle Glory continued to espouse a DIY ethos and anarchist principles. The band was based in Tucson, Arizona and became known for its earnest, autobiographical songwriting that dealt with themes of addiction, recovery, social justice, and the quest for personal authenticity amid a chaotic world.

The band released "Live the Dream" in 2011, an album that proved seminal within the folk punk genre, featuring anthemic tracks that resonated with fans across the alternative music spectrum. This was followed by "Who Are Your Friends Gonna Be?" in 2012, which showcased Ramshackle Glory's ability to pose deep existential questions within the format of raucous, sing-along punk songs. "Shelter", released in 2013, further highlighted the band's storytelling prowess and commitment to social issues. Their final album, "One Last Big Job," was released in 2016, capturing the essence of the band's collaborative spirit and gritty, heartfelt performances. It served as a fitting swan song for Ramshackle Glory, who disbanded soon after, leaving behind a legacy of challenging the status quo and inspiring a new generation of punk artists to take up the folk punk mantle.
