Greetings fellow rock type persons. This is the humble begginings of the one and only Ripkore website. I will soon begin turning this into a fabulous homage to the limited life of Ripkore. Look out for photos and band bios and al sorts of fabulous loud noisy stuff. We have just written our first song, "White Solidus". Stay tuned buckers! Ripkore.

Last weekend (Saturday 16th March 2002)  the band commenced the much anticipated composing of our own material. Until this point we had been playing covers as most bands do when they start out. We had jammed around and improvised a bit before. There was one jam session when Nathan was not there during which we came up with what we fondly call "the chillout stuff". We took this chillout stufff and made it into the intro for "White Solidus". At the precise moment when we first played the core of the song, one of our guitarists Stefano was absent from the jam and Nathan had left for about half an hour to pursue female interests. The ever loveable Nick Sager-House was on hand to help. Him and myself (Seb) did the vocals which were initially just random screams. We salute you Nick! You helped with that first song. Nick is the rather funky slap bassist with a fellow BSP group called Cerberus. Anywho it pretty much down now, we are gonna refine it tommorrow and record it onto a tape. Its a very strange song, mixing elements of prog rock and industrial with drum and bass and some metal (both death, normal and nu) so god knows what you must think it sounds like! Once we have a recording that does credit to the song we will make it into Mp3 for you to download. I will put some more news up tommorrow or sometime after the jam. Toodles! Seb

Hello everybody peeps! So then, the website is looking more impressive, no? The lyrics section is comming soon as is the band section (as soon as i can get the guys to make their pages). The music will come when we finally have a recording of White Solidus that is any good quality. The jam session last weekend was okay, we made some progress with White Solidus, it still needs work though. We started working on a new tribal / drum n bass type song with some rather industrial riffs. Its still young but it has a future me thinks. Please sign the newly added guestbuck! Hope full y we will have a link from the Haetus site soon, more popularity!. Thankya to people who already signed the guestbuck! There wont be much action over the holidays i'm afraid, seb and stefano are away in england so we will have to wait. Once again our bottomless pit of contacts (Will) has found someone who can help us. He knows a guy who has a recording studio. So now that recording of White Solidus is getting closer! Tis all for now, more news when more stuff comes. Seb

Late Breaking News: Ripkore Singer in Teddy Bear Scandal
The now much ridiculed ripkore vocalist Nathan Abimelech was spotted today in outer paris in a rather ridiculous teddy bear suit! He was reported by witensses to be asking children if "They Wanted Eggs?". We are as yet unsure of the context of this quote, but we are sure that it is not in the interest of well being. Here we see the culprit in action:

Hello people! Its finally here, a ripkore gig. Sexual favours to the guys in Sonus (Formerly known as Cerberus) especially Nick Sagar-Buck (House) and his mum! They have got us a spot outside the Bitter End in St. Germain sharing a set with them. Its going to be Ripsonus or Sonkore! We are gonna be doing about 5 songs each and then changing over. Covers and songs will be played by both bands. There will also be a rather orgasmic collaboration between both bands, so it will be a rock orchestra of 9 players! Thats four guitarists, two bassists, two drummers all for one singer! It will be crazy and you are advised to mosh! Pit provided, surrounded by chains. The fete de la musique that this gig is planned for is on the Friday 21st of June. Be there, this may be our only gig! And by the way, ITS FREE! Turn up and mosh policy!

Were back again, with loadsa cool shit lined up. There has been a huge gap of un-activity while parents and exams have been restricting our activity. But the good news is that we are now considered "good" by the bastards at la clef who seem to change their company policy every week, oh well, theyre letting us play so we forgive them. Yes that right, friday 31st of may, 8:00, st. germain, la clef, free free free! There will be a 4 song ep available for sale for like 2euros or something. Bring your friends, mothers and pet gerbils!! we will be part of a metal evening featuring other bands, plus its like 2 minutes from the bitter end, so there will be many post gig pints to be had!! There is also the min-concert in montesson before the fete de la musique at 8:00, we'll be playing our own 3 songs, its just mini, but we hope to see the hardcore ripkore people there, the bucks!! The tribal song is practically done now, and the chill out song which is just an idea at the mo has finally got a few riffs, expect it soon!! Thanx for all your support, the web site is almost at 1000 now, quite an acheivement considering what a short time we've been around. Be sure to go to haetus's gig on the 1st of june (day after ours) at the highlander in paris, free aswell!! we'll be there!
