1965 Records

Once upon a time, there were two young scoundrels called Phil Wallbank and James Sullivan. Bored of school and all of the things that came with it, they had one dream - to make the most fabulous and enticing pop songs imaginable. Listening to everything from Blur to Muse, and The Lightning Seeds to Frank Sinatra, they set about doing it - strumming acoustic guitars and sketching out humorous little lyrics whenever they could...

Then, as if by magic, they stumbled across Thomas Beal and Rosalind Duignan-Pearson. Beal was a stylish and utterly ridiculous character, with the bass skills to match McCartney's finest hour. Roz was a friendly young beauty, whose drumming brought a tear of joy to the eye. From that moment, Ripchord were born.

They supported The Kooks and the Babyshambles amongst others.

And this brings us to the present day!

So what's next for Ripchord? Strings of hit singles? Saturday morning TV appearances? Drunken nights spent with supermodels? Who Knows!
