The Ript | Freak In The Sheets
$15.00
THE RIPT is not just another four member active Rock / Metal outfit. It’s a buzz that has
been brewing for sometime around the Boston area club scene.
With their debut release FREAK IN THE SHEETS gaining attention and support from active rock
radio stations throughout the Northeast corridor (see below for complete radio station list)). THE
RIPT has begun to blaze a path with their sonic message.
Bassist J BRYAN describes ‘Mental’ “like a run away train, a speeding ticket waiting to happen”.
Lead guitarist / producer CLINTONE explains “producing this record was much like working out with
a personal trainer, pushing to bring out the very best performances” as is evident on standout tracks
such as ‘Freak In the Sheets’ with it’s seductive, infectious groove and ‘In A Perfect World’ that
leaves the listener in awe over the lead guitar heroics. Let’s not forget the other side of THE RIPT
which is right at home next to platinum selling acts such as Linkin Park and Shinedown. Lead singer
BILLY STEPHEN exclaims “I never gave up, I kept learning more and more” which forges the basic
theme in the song ‘Still Alive (Featuring Mickey Kanan)’. Diving deeper into the human psyche on
issues like suicide on the haunting ‘Why A Good Thing Never Lasts’. But even deeper than themes
we all live everyday THE RIPT has taken it one step further by recording a track sung in ancient
Sumerian, a language that has been dead for more than 4800 years titled ‘Nibiru 2012’ that can
only be described as sounding like Ramstein summoning the gods from above with John Bonham
himself laying down the groove as former drummer TOM EMERSON recalls “I always loved
Bonham’s style and feel, he set the bar for drummers everywhere”.
Great music has always been a sign of the times and THE RIPT is just that! A movement that has
begun to gain momentum on a national scale by touching on sounds and lyrical issues we all relate
to like the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the loss of loved ones, the spirit to follow ones dreams as
well as bringing speculation on what the future may hold for humanity in December 2012.
Not since Led Zeppelin has there been a band so diverse until now…
