Lots of shoegaze influenced bands spent less time on vocals and melody than dialing in the perfect tremolo and delay settings on their guitar pedals, but not Ripe, who manage to craft to genuinely catchy melodies and memorable lyrics. And like those same bands, Ripe aren't afraid to stretch the songs into a variety of territories, whether it's acoustic ballads or minor key dirges.</font></p><p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(68,68,68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.600000381469727px;"><font size="2">Songs in this Episode:</font></p><font size="2"><span style="color: rgb(68,68,68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.600000381469727px;"></span></font><div style="text-align: center;">Intro - Mother Tongue</div><span style="color: rgb(68,68,68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.600000381469727px;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">3:49 - History of the Band</div><span style="color: rgb(68,68,68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.600000381469727px;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">9:23 - Something Fierce</div><span style="color: rgb(68,68,68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.600000381469727px;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">16:29 - Centre of the Universe</div><span style="color: rgb(68,68,68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.600000381469727px;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">27:34 - Get Your Shit Together</div><span style="color: rgb(68,68,68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.600000381469727px;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">Outro - Daylight Wants to Kill</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="color: rgb(76,76,76); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.20319938659668px; background-color: rgb(255,255,255);"> <span style="line-height: 17px;">Follow on </span><a href="https://twitter.com/digmeoutpodcast" title="http://" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(83,138,182); line-height: 17px;">Twitter</a><span style="line-height: 17px;"> / </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DigMeOutPodcast" title="http://" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(83,138,182); line-height: 17px;">Facebook</a> </div> <div style="color: rgb(76,76,76); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.20319938659668px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(255,255,255);"> <div style="text-align: center;"></div> <p></p> <div style="text-align: center;"></div> <p></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.digmeoutpodcast.com/requestareview" title="http://" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(83,138,182);">Request A Review</a> / <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/gifts?ch=digmeoutpodcast" title="http://" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(83,138,182);">Buy A T-Shirt</a> </div> </div> </div>
