Photo by Bo Streeter New York-based band The Ropes don't pull any punches. From the opening lines of 'I Don't Like to Get Dirty,' we learn that "You can all go fuck yourselves/You can all go burn in hell," which is not the best way to get someone to continue listening, but then, like the slogan for Sour Patch Kids (nasty stuff), we find out that first The Ropes are sour, then they're sweet: "If there's anything you need at all I would help you out." Composed of vocalist/bassist Sharon Shy and [...]
Time once again, oh fearless waverider, for another installment of one of our favorite column, The D.I.Y. Ethic, our ode to all the multipulously talented folk out there that divide their time between the day job and the basement studio. (and in case you're wondering, yes, I did just make up that word, but it certainly seems to fit). And have we got an assortment for you today. That's one of the things that thrills us the most about the D.I.Y. musician-- there is no end to the limits of their muse. It seems that [...]

Social Experiment #6 : "Be My Gun" by The Ropes . This video was crafted by Andi Krop , check it out: more to come soon!
The first words I ever heard The Ropes' Sharon Shy sing were "You can all go fuck yourselves, you can all go burn in hell..." and since the moment the initial shock wore off I have been hooked. You may (but probably don't) remember about 7 months ago when I called their track "I Don't Like to Get Dirty" the most upbeat song about severe depression ever. Sample lyric: "The only reason I haven't put myself in the ground already/Is I don't like to get dirty." The ropes are back at it with a new EP ( [...]
