Eugene Ripper (Canada) Clark Nova (Berlin) Ripper’s 7” record release

From his roots with Canada’s first wave punk rockers Stark Naked and the Fleshtones and throughout an acclaimed solo career featuring a mashup of punk, folk, blues, rockabilly and rock n roll, Ripper continues to nail it down with a unique musical vibe. It’s all well represented on his latest recording: A single featuring his original “Ride The Northern Train” and b side “Dark as a Dungeon” (a cover of the Merle Travis classic to remember Ripper’s father who was a mining man)

“Toronto’s underexposed gem Eugene Ripper has been honing his unique brand of fast-folk with a punk rock ethos since the early ’90s. Don’t miss a chance to be transported to his noir universe.” POP MONTREAL

” Ex guitar slinger for Stark Naked & The Fleshtones, now playing barbed, fast n furious folk, with a punk stance and a lyrical nod to Johnny Cash and film noir. Great stuff.” SMASH UK

” One of the first acts I saw at the Sidewalk Cafe was Canadian Eugene Ripper playing with the inestimable Billy Ficca (Television) and seeming to be the very epitome of AntiFolk – Johnny Cash meets the Ramones ” ANTIMATTERS NYC
