RIPLEY has a punchy power pop sound that devoted NYC village audiences have dubbed "crunchy slut pop from another planet." Alice Ripley (vocals/guitars/songwriter) recently formed RIPLEY after working for a decade on Broadway (she was nominated for a Tony Award for her portrayal of Violet Hilton in the cult classic Side Show - Sony Classical). Long time pro Drummer Shannon Ford (Danny Gatton, Paul Simon)and literary-agent-by-day-keyboardist-by-night Christopher Schelling make up the other two members of RIPLEY, whose self-produced, self-titled EP features five tracks of twisty ear candy. QUEEN meets vintage BLONDIE. The layers of soaring female vocals, siren-like keys and crunchy guitars give RIPLEY a catchy retro-wave sound with a decidedly 21st century ring.
