We’re very pleased to announce that our label, Ripple Music has signed a major distribution deal for North America with Nail Distribution. This means all our American brothers will be able to go to just about any record retail outlet in the States and order a copy of our album or any of Ripple Music’s other tasty releases by the likes of Stone Axe, Mos Generator, Poobah, JPT Scare Band, Iron Claw, Trucker Diablo…etc.

Grifter may only be at number 774 but this is a list of the best heavy rock (not metal) albums of all time from Fast And Bulbous!!! Pretty chuffed to be on there with Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, the Stooges, Van Halen...and Budgie!!!

We're sorry to announce that the show at the Old Bell in Derby on the Orange Goblin tour on Monday April 9th has now been cancelled. This is in no part due to Orange Goblin or the promoter, Onslaught Promotions, but down to the venue themselves.

We are, however, extremely chuffed to announce that the tour will now roll into Newcastle-Upon-Tyne on this date at Legends. This is great news for Grifter who have been dying to play Newcastle for ages and catch up with some old friends.

Here's an interview I did on an American station last week, Ripple Radio. I'm on from about 30 minutes for 45 minutes or so.

We'll be headlining the Black Heart stage at Desertfest on Saturday April 7th...onstage at 10.15 right after Orange Goblin finish in the Underworld practically next door.

Day tickets go on sale on Monday.

Desertfest and Orange Goblin tour a week tomorrow!!!

Just had an insane week on the road with Orange Goblin and played to some incredible crowds. Looks like there may be some bigger tings in the pipeline.

In the meantime, we still have t-shirts and CDs available from our web store
