NYC based duo The Ropes are vocalist/bassist Sharon Shy and multi-instrumentalist Toppy (known for playing drums with the guitar hanging around his neck). Notorious for their engaging lyrics, The Ropes have toured extensively throughout the US and UK, opening for acts such as The Used, Innerpartysystem, The Matches, and others.

The Ropes have released an EP titled “Cry to the Beat” and a full length album “What They Do For Fun”, both produced by Nic Hard (The Bravery, The Church) and Toppy.



What they do for fun reminds me I'm not one of them.



Happiness is nothing more than a flirt.

Hey Sharon and Toppy.
It's been forever... I'm still almost constantly listening to you, don't worry.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new stuff by the way.
I drew pictures of you  guys, and made some shit, but I can't show you because it's not all done. But one day.
Haha.
Anyways...
I hope things have been going fantastic and well and all the things in between.
I actually got booked for some gigs, so I've just been super busy and haven't been getting on as much.
Anyways... Can't wait to see you if you ever come back here,

<333

I listen to The Ropes pretty much every day and I have found that the best way to listen to their music is to put your head between the speakers and then to turn the volume ALL THE WAY UP! CRANK IT! CRANK THAT THANG! You will become a slave to their music, but that is a small price to pay for artistic excellence! Right now “What They Do For Fun” is blasting in my office. I am so into it. The guitar work is killer. Surrender. You cannot resist.
