Third album from The Successful Failures, who further refine their really cool brand of rock, mixing Replacements-styled blasts of indie-rock with Americana and jangly pop influences - more super-melodic tunes, big beats, and ringing guitars. "The Successful Failures are definitely an original band that has a lot to offer. This is exactly how pop punk/ garage rock is suppose to sound: Songs that are aching to get you out on the floor, no matter where you are, stompin` up a storm like the devil in the blue dress slacks! "-JerseyBeat. "In short, Ripe for the Burning", brings back everything great about organic, roaring, kicking, melodic 80`s indie-rock, from the Libertines/U.S. (what with the roots), to Big Dipper, Tim-era Replacements, etc. (and nowadays Sloan). Factor in the humor of "Niki Zerenberg" (a teenage fanzine dude) and "Never Moving Out" (sorry, mom!), and the deal`s sealed. Ripe is one heck of a great-fun LP, perfect to sing along to - "burned" or bought" - Jack Rabid, Big Takeover. "With their fab merging of crunchy power-chord pop and Stonesy drive, these Jersey rockers, with Mick Chorba of Dipsomaniacs fame leading the charge, are one of the best bands going. One listen to the rousingly infectious "All I Can Take" will hook you" - Pop Culture Press. Very Highly Recommended.
