The RopesGenre: Rock / Indie / New Wave
From: New York, United States
NYC based duo The Ropes are the beautifully named vocalist/bassist Sharon Shy (love to see her birth certificate) and the less brilliantly monickered multi-instrumentalist Toppy whose party piece is apparently to play drums with his guitar hanging around his neck.
I recently received an email from Natalie a Ropes 'street teamer' and, although bands with a street team are usually big enough to stand on their own two feet without a helping hand from the Devil, I decided to check them out.
Am I glad I did because any band who can start a song with the immortal lines 'you can all go fuck yourself, you can all go burn in hell' like The Ropes do on the outrageously 'I Don't Like To Get Dirty' are all right by the Devil.
Natalie describes the band as something like The Knife meets Chromatics but I'm afraid I have to disagree as they are much closer to Garbage meets The Cardigans at a party thrown by Goldfrapp (original vintage). Check out the band's new single, the catchy as fuck 'Be My Gun', and tell me I'm wrong.
