Artist:

Album:Be My Gun
Be My Gun is three overall solid songs. With the title track leading the way through a powerful riff and bass combo, the disc's highlight was very worthy of it's placement on the short EP. Add in "Too Cool To Love" and you're well on your way to a strong even unforgettable EP. "Too Cool To Love" again features a strong base and drumline with mysterious lyrics from vocalist Sharon Shy.Unfortunat...

The Ropes - Be My Gun

Artist:
The Ropes is a NYC based duo composed of vocalist/bassist Sharon Shy and multi-instrumentalist Toppy (he plays drums with a guitar around his neck). The music was described to me as comparable to The Knife and the Chromatics. A lot girl/guy duos' music seems to click with me. Six dudes sitting in a studio kicking around ideas can result in a bunch of clashing ideas and unrealized sonic gems bu...

Track:Clubs In Europe Forever
The Ropes have put together a soft and slightly haunting video for their single ”Clubs in Europe Forever.” The song has a simple beat and slowly shifting synths which make the whole production kind of catchy. Filmed in Brooklyn in a space strangely reminiscent of some Melophobes’ summer living quarters, I’ve got to say I think they did a pretty good job.

Track:Clubs in Europe
THE ROPES‘ upcoming EP has a great title track, although I’m not sure what about the correlations between the topics of the song and clubs in Europe. I think what they’re trying to say is that the duo will be around a long time and so will human atrocities.MP3: The Ropes - Clubs in Europe [...]

Well, I got those MP3 faster than I thought and thank God. Yesterday The Ropes released latest Ep called "Be My Gun" a mesmerizing work that brings back the glory of the Indie Rock, their sound mixes drums, guitars, and synths, which reminds me of kind of music that Californians used to make and I fell in love back a few years back and now wonder why would anyone would stop making such an amaz...
