Boston-based seven-piece Ripe have released, “Flipside,” the third track from their independent full-length debut, Joy In The Wild Unknown, out April 6th. Joy In The Wild Unknown was produced by Cory Wong of Vulfpeck, mixed by 5-time GRAMMY-Winner Joe Visciano (Mark Ronson, Adele, Beck, Coldplay), and mastered by Randy Merrill (Lady Gaga, Lorde, Imagine Dragons, Taylor Swift).
Ripe has had a big week. On Wednesday, they kicked off their 30+ date U.S. headlining tour in Charleston. The series of dates will run through the spring, making stops in major cities such as New York City, Atlanta, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles and more, providing fans with a chance to dance and collectively revel in the magic of Ripe’s live show. The band also announced that they will be holding a toy drive at each stop on the tour, collecting donations from their fans at all venues and delivering them to local Boys & Girls Clubs of America in each tour market. Please bring a toy to receive exclusive Ripe music!
