With a kitschy, Indie folk rock sound that rattles the soul, Ben Ripani Music Co. delivers a caustic symphony of songs, a melodic vocal dance of involved rhythmic textures and honest, vulnerable lyrics.  The 5-piece  group consists of Ben Ripani (guitar, vocals), Mike Schminke (percussion), Derek Kolb(bass, vocals), Nick Mungari(lead guitar) & Chris Nakielski (keyboards, vocals). “There’s a twang, an emotion, a polarizing sense of attraction between you and Ben Ripani that is almost indescribable. It’s not quite blues. Or rock. Or folk. Rather, it pulls a piece from each of them and creates a patchwork musical canvas that has a little bit of Dylan, a smattering of Blues Traveler, a dash of Dave Matthews and some Wilco for good measure. Each and every member of the Ben Ripani Music Company plays with a passion and focus that I haven’t seen live in quite some time.” (CBB Fest: Congress Theater 12/4/2010 by Ben Dahl | Lost in Concert) 

Ben Ripani released his first solo record “Hope Street” in 2009, an honest album “with rich instrumentation and soulful vocals. Some songs stripped to only the acoustic guitar to showcase Ripani’s poetics, which certainly hold up” (Max Herman: Illinois Entertainer). Ben Ripani Music Co. released their debut 7-song EP titled “Maladies” on June 11, 2011. Recorded at WBEZ Studios on Navy Pier in Chicago, Paul Von Mertens joined the project as the producer (Brian Wilson, Wilco, Poi Dog), with Adam Yoffe engineering. 

Following the release of Maladies, BRMCo has been busy playing shows around the United States. This run has included appearances at the Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival, South By Southwest, House of Blues Chicago, Hard Rock Chicago & multiple East Coast tours. Please stay tuned for new music as BRMCo. is in the studio now recording a full length album.

a teenager with a passion for indie and alternative rock. mostly content, happy, eccentric. 

Hard rock and metal has a new force to be reckoned with. Moodna creeks debut album is brilliantly crafted, insanely addictive and instantly pulls you in with that mean American vibe that could only be Moodna Creek. Hailing from Orange County NY, Moodna Creek carved their unique blend of sounds with influences that ran a vast spectrum of styles. Hunkering down for two years, locked away in an old secluded warehouse on the shores of Moodna Creek, the band rightly labeled their project "Moodna Creek". The creeks name is a corruption that stuck from the original Dutch term "Moordenaar" meaning murderer. The creek was dubbed "Murderers Creek" after a massacre of early settlers on the creek. The band chose this name after it murdered all preconceptions of musical style while washing the slate clean in order to foster a unique sound and emotional connection to the listener with no boundaries. Focusing good songwriting the debut album is just that from the cool low down swagger of "straws", the hauntingly emotional classic "Out of Reach" and the raw crushing edge of "Like a Knife" you'll know they got it right. Then once you see the intensity of their live shows playing to sold out crowds you’ll know there is no mistake, so hold tight and jump on in for the ride.
