Ryan’s Smashing Life: “One Of The Most Outstanding New Acts In Boston”
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Write-up from Ryan’s Smashing Life:
MAKING NOISE – One of the most outstanding new acts in Boston right now, RIBS have an overtly British subcontext. That may win a number of hearts and minds today, but where this band excels is proofed by their music. The bits of dissonant, the distinctively emotive tone – beautiful chaos really, is somehow kept in check on “Even” above. The cerebral and the raw stacked side by side; it’s a clever draw for listeners. The songs often descend progressively with guitars wailing only to come into steep ascension lead by drums and bass. It’s the possibly of being dangled upside down, musically, that keeps listeners sharp.The kids are going to like what this band is cooking. RIBS is Keith Freund, Blake Fusilier, Justin Tolan, and Chris Oquist. The four are making music here that defines spaces and challenges our traditional song concept. Find out what RIBS Rock is all about tonight if you’re in town. If you’re reading this, set your sights on this band, something is definitely happening here.

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….”

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.
