Todd - Big Ripper [Riot Season - 2009]

‘Big Ripper’ is a punch drunk, rugged, feed-back buzzed & on the edge of a nervous break down rock record. With each track being like a staggering, lumbering big & beer heavy man tottering from one foot to another trying to do a rock ‘n’ roll dance

At the base of each song on 'Big Ripper' is a fairly simplistic blues, or rock ‘n’ roll riff which the band stuff & force feed down each others necks then regurgitate the riffs back-up in feed back coated, effect jittered, staggering, macho & often messy  manner with a barely heard & mic-less mad- man ranting & raving over the top of the jerking, sputtering & heavy as a ton of poo sound.  The album is more about the texture, the stumbling wonder & burst-up spirit of the sound & less about the songs tunes and harmonic unfolds & I guess it that way ‘Big Ripper’ is the ultimate dumb, boozed –up & full of cum rock record.

Yes ‘Big Rippers’  not big & it’s not clever, but it’s a hell of a lot of fun;much like going to party & all you want to do is drink as much as possible as quickly as possible and make a real fool of yourself- so don’t be a big girls blouse uncork ‘Big Ripper’ & take a big old slug of it.
