BIO BLURB

After cutting his rock and roll teeth as a founding guitarist in first wave Canadian surf punkabilly rockers, Stark Naked & The Fleshtones, Ripper launched a solo career that continues to this day featuring a synthesis of punk, folk, roots and rock n roll. From barbed fast' n' furious acoustic punk folk, rock n roll, sonic atmospherics, lyrical dark ballads and beat driven spoken word,
Ripper wraps it all up in post modern stance and punk rock ethos.

ABOUT "ALTERCOOL"

The title track coupled with two companion tunes " Matador " and " Ballad of The Hangman " represents a collaboration with Halifax based production team Charles Austin/Graeme Campbell (Buck 65, Aqua Alta). At the heart of the work is a nine minute spoken word, beat driven, sonic dedication to the memory of Ripper's musical friend and collaborator Walter Kuhr, a New York based composer, bandleader and accordion guru who passed away in 2015 after battling cancer.

Also featured on the platter are four songs from 2015's Fast Folk Underground 4.0 EP recorded with producer John Critchley. Another notable bit: Billy Ficca (Televison) appears on
" Queen Street 1987 " playing drums and bongos.
