"Funny Old World" was recorded for the band's debut album 'Long Live The Ripps' in 2007 but not included on that album.
Many thanks therefore to the band for sharing it exclusively for this album.
The Ripps were formed in Coventry in 2003 by brothers Patch and Raul Lagunas, whose parents were political activists that escaped political persecution from General Pinochet in Chile. Their debut single "Vandals" was released in 2006, followed by their debut album 'Long Live the Ripps'.
"...quintessentially British-sounding, with a real nostalgic taste for the early-Eighties punk flavours of The Buzzcocks." ("Punktastic" magazine)
"...so English they made Arctic Monkeys sound like Dwight Yoakam." ("Spin" magazine)
