Robbie Wulfsohn, on vocals, Tory Geismar, Jon Becker, Sampson Hellerman, on drums, Josh Shpak, on trumpet, EWI, Calvin Barthel, on trombone, and Nadav Shapira, on bass, make up the Boston, Massachusetts-based Funk/Pop band Ripe. “Hi Hello” and “Produce the Juice,” their two EPs, were produced. Copenhagen-based Ripe is a power metal band that falls halfway between the metal bands of the 1980s, the straightforward heavy rock of the 1990s, and the diversity of the new millennium. Great melodies, punishing strong riffs, attentive vocal lines, and lightning solos are the hallmarks of Ripe’s music.
