RIBS Nominated For Best New Act In Boston Phoenix’s Best Music Poll

Monday, March 28th, 2011

Someone upstairs must really love us. And by upstairs we mean the Boston Phoenix headquarters. (We live on the first floor, they’re on the 3rd. Awkward, I know…) Anyway, we’re nominated for this thing, and you can vote once per day for the next six weeks. Which is good because we’re not known for our performances on odd-numbered days. Just sayin.

Note: you’ve also gotta click “cast your ballot” after hitting “submit vote.”

P.S. Speaking of awkward, thanks for pitting us against our friends the Dirty Dishes Phoenix. Way to facilitate lasting friendships…

Editors Pick

You remember how worked up your mother used to get before your first day of school? Well, that’s how we feel about RIBS as they prepare to unleash their experimental metal all along the East Coast. We ironed their clothes, packed their lunch, and named them one of the 11 bands to watch in 2011. Now, we’ll be there to wish them luck when they launch their tour at Great Scott.
