East coast guitarrorist Paul Wayne (right) has joined forces with Seattle musician/producer team Geoff Ott (center) and Jonathan Plum (left) to bring you RipSpacer. This fortuitous line-up offers the full rock experience with explosive guitar-laced attack and release. Influences include: Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., REM, and The Who. This cache of influence combined with Dylanesque / Keroucian lyrics by Paul Wayne express the post-millennial fire that is RipSpacer.

The fall of the two towers in 2001 prompted a return visit to Seattle by Paul Wayne to the Northwest to pursue an internship with music producer Jonathan Plum. The internship turned into a working-relationship at which time EXCESS IN MODERATION (w/ Jonathan Plum on the traps) hatched and grew into the 5 song demo released in 2004. The addition of Geoff Ott on bass in 2006 catapulted RipSpacer into a fledgling power-trio searching for it’s own sound.

he new self-produced album titled MULTIVERSE was written, performed, recorded, and mixed in 2007 at London Bridge Studio. The album rocks through the 8 song jauggernaught working the verse-chorus-bridge routine with a blues scale turned so far inside out that you’d be hard pressed to find it. RipSpacer’s music is the sound of Paul’s growling tube-stung slabs of chordal punk-riffs paired with the deep-driven bass runs of Geoff Ott backed by the Moon like drumming of Jonathan Plum, poignantly saddled with Paul’s immediate vocal styling and Jonathan’s sly harmonies.

The band holds a collective fascination with the bridge between science and art. RipSpacer play passion felt rock with the lyrical emphasis exploring the ideas of love & hate, right & wrong, left & right. Born out of the idea that we live in a world where satellites watch our every move, RipSpacer strive to reflect the idea that our actions hold consequences that reach far beyond anything we could have ever imagined.
