RIPTIDES - BURN AFTER LISTENING

Based in Ottawa, Ontario, the capital city of Canada, The Riptides have been cranking out high-energy blasts of melodic, poppy punk rock for over 25 years. With their new LP Burn After Listening, the band makes the move to Pirates Press Records, and are ready to bring their sound to an all new worldwide audience! Blending attitude-driven downstroke riffs with irresistible hooks and harmonies, combined with an aesthetic informed by everything from nerdy pop culture and surfing, they've already amassed quite the following across the decades, but this record stands poised to introduce them to many new fans. Ultimately, Bob Goblin believes it is a strong representation of the band for newcomers. "We've always loved fast, aggressive songs, but never shied away from the poppier stuff either," he says. "I can't stand boring records where every song sounds exactly the same from top to bottom." He also believes that longtime fans will be equally pleased with what they hear. "They'll get it. Our DNA from past records is all over this one."
