Rock-Pop

Danish rock 'n' roll duo consisting of Sune Rose Wagner (on guitar, instrumentation and male vocals) and Sharin Foo (on bass and female vocals). Their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmonies, coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise. Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 50s and 60s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats and often dark lyrical content.
The duo met in Copenhagen and began recording "Whip It On", on which they handled all production chores by themselves. Adding guitarist Manoj Ramdas and jazz drummer Jakob Hoyer, the Raveonettes booked one of their first gigs at the SPOT festival in Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark.
"Whip It On" was elected "Best Rock Album of the Year" at the Danish Music Awards 2003, and The Raveonettes were picked as being among the harbingers of the "Next Wave" of contemporary music.
The band is incidentally very big fans of Fender instruments.

The Raveonettes Present: Rip it off is the fourth studio album by Danish indie rock band The Raveonettes. Released by Crunchy Frog in 2008, this album showcases the band's signature blend of noise pop and shoegaze with a darker and more aggressive sound.

With 12 tracks that clock in at just under 30 minutes, Rip it off wastes no time in delivering its punchy and energetic songs. The album opens with the explosive "Aly, Walk With Me," setting the tone for what's to come. The Raveonettes' characteristic wall of sound is present throughout, with layers of distorted guitars and haunting vocal harmonies creating a mesmerizing sonic landscape.

While previous albums from The Raveonettes had a more dreamy and melancholic atmosphere, Rip it off takes a different approach. The songs on this album are shorter and more focused, showcasing a raw intensity that grabs your attention from start to finish. Tracks like "Hallucinations" and "Dead Sound" are prime examples of this newfound aggression, with their driving rhythms and piercing guitar riffs.

Lyrically, Rip it off explores themes of love, loss, and longing. The haunting vocals of Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner perfectly capture the emotional depth of the lyrics, adding an extra layer of vulnerability to the songs. From the bittersweet ballad "You Want the Candy" to the anthemic "Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed)," each track tells its own story.

The production on Rip it off is gritty yet polished, allowing every instrument to shine through while maintaining a sense of urgency. This album is a testament to The Raveonettes' ability to evolve their sound while staying true to their roots.
