Thanks to Alan Cross (@AlanCross) and the ExploreMusic team for featuring us and to the fans who sent us in. From the radio version:
“I WANNA START WITH A LISTENER TIP. A COUPLE OF PEOPLE STUMBLED ACROSS THIS BAND FROM BOSTON AND SENT A LINK MY WAY. THEY’RE CALLED RIBS—AND THEY’RE ONE OF THE MOST BRITISH-SOUNDING AMERICAN BANDS I’VE HEARD IN A WHILE….FOUR GUYS…THERE’S A LITTLE MUSE IN WHAT THEY DO, MAYBE SOME OLD-SCHOOL VERVE, MAYBE SOME JOY DIVISION—AND THEN THEY MIX THAT WITH A LITTLE DEFTONES AND QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE….”

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009Spent a day tracking drums for British Brains at the studio of Scott Riebling (Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, The Von Bondies) in Raynham, MA:
Chris built this kit entirely by hand aside from the Pearl Steve Ferrone Signature snare drum. Thanks to Scott, our tracking engineer Alex Prieto (above), and our drum tech Andrew Nault for making this happen.
More EP updates coming soon.
A Dead Format
Saturday, October 10th, 2009A few nights ago, RIBS had a writing session for Russian Blood, our second EP (coming 2010). We were working on an outro section for one of the songs when Chris stopped us in the middle of playing, paused for a moment, and posed a question to the three of us: “Are we just pushing a dead format?”
We responded with blank stares.
“You know… drums, bass, guitars? A ‘rock band?’ Isn’t this a dead format?”
“Yes.” And without another word, we went back to playing the new section.
