Breaking free from the shackles of this current pop culture, a new band rises to unite the masses of heavy metal and hard rock fans. Founded in September of 2004, RIPCHAIN began their quest playing locally in their hometown and gaining momentum with every show. Their live show is known for its heavy, in-your-face, blitzkrieg of guitars and drums. Dave Ford leads the charge as the bands dynamic and frenzied front man. On stage right, Joff Stone, blasts out that triple rectifier guitar tone into your bleeding ears as you scream for more! On stage left, Dan Garrett cuts you deep with his bass guitar. Pounding you into a bloody mass flesh as your head implodes. On drums, Ryan Anderson shatters the sky with a rolling thunder that would make Tommy Lee proud!

RIPCHAIN is all about quality music and a quality live performance and should be committed. Oops! I mean 'is' committed to bringing their very best to every show. People of all ages, male and female like this band, but know one knows exactly why? Top scientists from around the world are struggling to analyze this new phenomenon. It is their hope to create a new weapon of mass destruction based upon their research. We should also mention that we have some beach front property for sale.
