Ripley's twisty ear candy features amazing female vocals and hook-filled melodies. It's crunchy slut pop from another planet.

notes

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.

  • Part diva, part chanteuse and part performance artist.
    author: Blues Bunny

    The opening track “Romeo” is basically a straight forward although beguiling pop song, while “Counting sheep is a blend of quirkiness and psychedelia. “Humiliating Circumstances” is a bit of an understated gem that shows just how beautiful a voice she has when the instrumentation and ‘theatrics’ are reduced to the minimum, and there is nowhere left to hide. It’s the sort of song where you either stand or fall on your voice alone – and Ms Ripley is still on her feet.

  • LOVING IT!!

    Who knew Alice had it in her?! This CD is a great departure from the sound Alice established on "Everything's Fine" and the lyrics show a maturity that was not expected. Buy this CD and play it loud!

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
    author: John Woodbury

    One word is all that is required. AMAZING. I have been a fan of Alice since the Side show CD, the CD Duets, and even more so with Unsuspecting Hearts, and my admiration kept growing with her solo CD and then with the Ripley Band. She has an amazing voice and I can't wait to get out to NYC to see her live. Alice Rocks!

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE - GREAT SOUND

    This CD is great! I love the first song and Alice continues to impress. I've played this for all my friends and I hope a full CD album is on the way soon? Great job to all!

    love the whole cd! first song is my favorite! i want more! :o)

  • Ripley new sounds, new feel, new Alice
    author: Robert Lopez

    RIPLEY is fresh, new and different. So different from Alice's "Everything's Fine" But trust me, if you're a fan of Alice, or just a fan of soft alternative music ala No Doubt, Alanis Morissette, then give this EP a try! Not to mention that buying it was a cynch! It was amazingly inexpensive and was shipped and received within 5 days! You can't go wrong!

  • Amazing CD Full of Spunk!!!
    author: David

    The CD is a wonderful collection of funky new tunes from Alice Ripley who has an amazing voice and lyrics that can anyone laugh and smile!!! The CD is a must for fans... but dont expect the old stuff this is fun and punky and full of spunk!!!

  • I WANT MORE!
    author: Shmatty

    I am a huge fan of Alice and her work on Broadway and her previous album Everything's Fine. With this kick-ass band, she is back in full force. This album can rock the pants off any Britney fan. It packs all the fun, and is full of surprises. It's great to hear a rock/pop/punk singer that doesn't sound like she is ruining her voice on every line too. Give Ripley a spin if you want something new, fun, and original. All I can say is, "Five songs? I WANT MORE!!!!"

    Alice can do it all! Her punk feel comes through loud and strong. Once again I'm sold!!! Broadway, rock, punk listners must add this to their collection.
