From ExploreMusic’s Wikipedia page:

With online being the first choice of more and more people looking for new music, the decision was made to create a service where “real people, real passionate music fans, could recommend music to other real passionate music fans, without any sort of mechanical or electronic filters.”[1] The concept was inspired by the success of Pandora and Last.fm.[1] However, while Pandora and Last.fm work on complex algorithms, ExploreMusic was designed as a place where music fans could turn to discover new music and information about the artists involved, as well as be encouraged to make recommendations themselves with the goal of creating conversation and community.

The show has 1 million weekly listeners (five half-hour shows each week). Thanks to whoever sent us in.

Bostonist Show Preview: Exploding In Sound Showcase

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

RIBS is a dark rock band sometimes compared to Muse or Queens of the Stone Age—or, less often, Joy Division. Sunday night, RIBS will play with other rough-edged local acts at Church, creating an evening of deep sounds with a metal tinge. If you have Monday off work, there’s no excuse for not rocking out all night.”

Exploding In Sound showcase – Boston, MA 1/17/10 @ Church w/Ultra Violent Lights & Art Decade

RIBS Featured in Playground Boston and OnAFriday.com

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Check out these two articles previewing our show at Church of Boston this Sunday, January 17th:

Playground Boston’s Weekend Picks 1/14-1/17
RIBS has a very cool sound… The dark combination of vocals and frantic guitars enable their sound to jump from a Death From Above 1979 to a fast-paced, much less depressing Joy Division. They’ll be joined on the bill by Art Decade, with an experimental style that PGB Staffer Nick Grieco describes as “The Mars Volta and Rx Bandits had a baby named Frank Zappa, who grew up listening to The Fall of Troy and Damiera.” If that sounds like your style, check these guys out. One more thing about this show – its cheap!

Boston acts RIBS, Art Decade, and Nooka Jones join NYC’s Ultra Violent Lights at Church on Sunday
Some of our friends have a show at Church on Sunday. No, it’s not a worship service. RIBS will join Berklee’s Art Decade, Boston University’s Nooka Jones, and New York City’s Ultra Violent lights for a night of mayhem at the Church of Boston music venue Sunday night. The band has a lot of new material as they’re about to release their first EP, British Brains. It’s also the first show in which RIBS’ new drummer Chris Oquist will perform.

Thanks to Playground Boston and OnAFriday!

Local Spotlight on RIBS

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Dave Spak over at Stereo Typing just spotlighted us along with our friends The Dirty Dishes, whose album is produced by our very own Keith Freund. Here’s a bit of what he had to say:

“Each song is full of character and intensity that is remarkable from the first note. Fans of Deftones and Smashing Pumpkins will find much to appreciate in what they hear.”

RIBS featured on the Future Legendary compilation

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

A pre-release version of “Even” has been featured on the third compilation by Exploding In Sound, Future Legendary. We’re joined by eighteen other bands, including Brooklyn-based Change The Station, dark new-wave/art rock/shoegazers Junius, and the awesomely-named Solar-Powered Sun Destroyer.

Here’s what Exploding In Sound had to say about us:

“RIBS are the latest band to emerge from the Boston scene, and poised to become one of the best… Their music evolves emotionally as it progresses, and soars with an atmospheric quality and intensity similar to Deftones, Queens of the Stone Age, or Muse… the band manages to write gorgeously moody rock that’s straightforward, pure, and will have you listening on repeat.”
