THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Desperate melody with true love’s aim.
A voice subtle in its delivery and powerful in its affect.
Hooks, lyrics, melody, tears.
I’d call it a teen tragedy but everyone’s getting older,
Hearts are getting bigger
but head and heart can’t ever line up.
11 tracks 45RPM.
Ribbon Stage are a trio from N.Y.C. with no small amount of love for the noise-pop days of Dolly Mixture and The Shop Assistants. The group does perfectly what only punks playing pop music can do — create chaotic noise in tandem with the sweetest hooks and most sophisticated nihilism. Ribbon Stage make noise-pop so catchy you swear you’ve heard before then can’t get out of your head.
Featuring Mari Softie (Ratas del Vaticano, Tercer Mundo, Exotica, Pobreza Mental) as well as scene stalwart Jolie M-A (Juicy II, Boys Online) and vocalist Anni Hilator. Recorded by Hayes Waring on 1/2” eight-track tape in Olympia, WA. Mixed by Capt. Tripps Ballsington. Mastered by Amy Dragon.”
