Montreal Punk band since 1980.
2024 was a really good year for us. We added more dates to our Western Tour and we recorded a new album.
2025 will be even better.
Getting a new drummer means plaing more shows. Plus we'll have a new album out soon.
Thanks to everyone for your support this year. We had a tonne of fun.
See you soon.

2024 was the year the Ripcordz Collective really kicked in. It seemed like we had a different line-up every time we left home.
We're hoping to bring it down to just a couple of line-ups this year with the addition of Elliott Filion on drums.
More details on this year's plans coming up real soon.

On December 15 in 1989 we played the Deja Voodoo BarBQ at the Laurier Church which hosted quite a few Punk and alternative shows in the late 80's until they got fed up with the damages and noise complaints.
Too bad because it was a great venue.
Exactly a year later we played the BarBQ at Foufounes.

This is about a mom who'll do anything to make sure her kids get a good present from Santa...

Thirty-two years ago today we were playing Montreal's legendary (if tiny) Station 10 for the launch of our third full album, "There Ain't No 'H' in Ripcordz, Dork-Face."
The title was dedicated to local weekly "The Montreal Mirror" who could never spell our name right in their listings.

Another of our songs from the "War on Christmas" album, currently free to download from bandcamp.

Thirty-five years ago we were playing two nights in Toronto as part of the Deja Voodoo Barbecue. They were great events putting a whole bunch of bands together along with rather questionable free food. I can't stress how important these shows were to the Scene in central Canada.
Always a good time.

Every barbecue we played was always packed and a good time.

VIDEO MILESTONE DEPARTMENT: Our video for "Party in the Parking Lot" just hit 17,000 views on youtube. And a heads-up that you can find any of our produced videos by searching for 'RIPCORDZ (official).'

I really don't want to hear about the Grateful Dead, Taylor Swift or Eminem. Are there any Punks in the Blue Sky universe?
