Welcome to name.in.lights, a little section of kickingcool.com devoted to putting something unique up for all the visitors to sink their teeth into. For the month of February, that unique thing is my high school's best garage band (though they DO have a few recordings out and none of the members is still in high school). Anyways, here's some info about Ripping Hammer.
Name: Ripping Hammer
Members: Geoff- Guitar, Rob- Tubs, Bozza- Bass, Matt Miller- Singing, guitar
Why does Dave recommend them? I'm glad I asked myself that one. These dudes are just the best band to come out of Farmington in a long time (or the only one I've heard, take your pick) and I think that more people should hear them. They claim to have an emo-sound, and they probably do, but I think they're more like Radiohead.
CD? Hell yes. Start.to.Finish is available at http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/163/ripping_hammer.html You guys, I've never steered you wrong before.
Website: www.angelfire.com/emo/rippinghammer. That's the official site. They have a second cd which is waaaaay better than the first one, and the links to it can be found there.
There they are, Farmington's own Ripping Hammer, and they are December's name.in.lights. If you have any ideas for future nil's, please feel free to mail me as I've only had one idea so far.
That's how they're going to go, folks. No big surprises here. If you'd like to check out this month's other features of nil, please click on the links to your left. The photo stuff is especially thought-provoking. Peace out.
