Ripsnorter is a four-man music machine featuring vocalist/guitarist J-Me, drummer Jay, guitarist Andy and bassist Damien. The group has been mixing up Punk, mid-80's Hardcore Punk, Metal, Horrorpunk and Rockabilly since 1994.
Their work has appeared on over 25 releases in various media: vinyl, cassettes (remember those?!), CD's and digital downloads including original works, tributes, splits and compilation albums. Their current full-length album, Infected, has received rave reviews in numerous magazines including Muen, Fangoria, Musick, Razorcake, Pulse, City Pages, Werewolves On Wheels and many others, which have praised the band's ability to combine the sounds and styles of bands such as Misfits, Broken Bones, Discharge, Amebix, Bad Religion, White Zombie, Queen and Danzig.
Songs such as "Living Hell," "Infected," "Echo," "Automation" and "Circle" cover a broad base of styles and content. While some songs focus on brain-eating zombies, other tracks make a statement about the human psyche, social and political issues or other important subjects.
