The
almighty RIPPERS, from Cagliari, Sardinia -- a lost Italian island
in the middle of the Mediterranean that has a surprising rock'n'roll
scene. A friend once told me that in Sardinia there are 1.5 million
people -- and 3 million sheep! So maybe it's not so surprising that
these kids have become such excellent musicians -- they've got nothin'
better to do... and they couldn't do better.
THE
RIPPERS RELEASES
THE RIPPERS
"Why Should I Care About You?" LP / CD
|
Ripper 1! Ripper 2! Ripper 3! Ripper 4! Yeah, that's the names of these 4 Sardines from Italy that comprise the wildest freak-beat combo of our our times... THE RIPPERS! These mod maniacs have been steadily pounding out trans-world punk rave-ups since 2002 and Slovenly Recordings is proud to present their latest full length hair-shaker of an LP "Why Should I Care About You?" Now this ain't no garage-slop here. These cats can play! Possessing the tightest chops of any 60s punks making music today, The Rippers literally RIP through 12 speedy blasts of quality, high-octane European rhythm'n'blues. With snot factory vocals, super screwy guitar breaks and a frogs-ass-is-watertight rhythm section The Rippers willl have you whipping out the switchblade comb from your back pocket and threatening your algebra teacher. Let's not forget the mad harmonica wail and even a song with the Bo Diddley (R.I.P.!) beat that's sure to have all the cool kids shakin' in study hall! Real rock'n'roll is alive, well and RIPPING!

#17: The Rippers 45
"It's Not a Place for the Men" b/w "Out of my Head for a Day"
|
Another killer, two more songs, even better than the first 45 we did for them! These Italians really know what rock'r'roll is. If you ever get the chance to visit Sardinia, you'll see -- when the gig is over, the drinks keep flowing and The Rippers hang around, in beerstained suits, jamming with their friends -- until the sun comes up.

#5: Rippers 45
"You can't leave me all night alone" b/w "I got my mojo working" single
|
(These are the Italian RIPPERS, not to be confused with the Spaniards of the same name!)
I'm still not sure how 60s garage found these Sardinians, or how I found them, but they are definitely Europe's best garage band! Two exclusive cuts. x-SLEEPWALKERS.
out now!
