The Ripps
The Ripps were highlighted in NME‚Äö?Ñ?¥s Radar Special as one of the bands at the centre of the scene currently spawning in the hitherto out-of-favour Midlands, Coventry. Upstarts The Ripps released the new single ‚Äö?Ñ??Loco‚Äö?Ñ?¥ through Catskills on 5th March 2007. ‚Äö?Ñ??Loco‚Äö?Ñ?¥ - 'a spanglish love song about two dysfunctional people who want to party!‚Äö?Ñ?? according to the band - serves as a great example of The Ripps sound; fast, furious & fun. It‚Äö?Ñ?¥s punk power pop effusive as early Supergrass, but with an outsider edge. Indeed the lyrics and astonishing energy of The Ripps is fuelled, in part, by their own love/hate relationship with their hometown. With their album 'Long Live The Ripps' ready to drop in 2007, The Ripps are set for big things.
