The spirit of DIY lives on with punk-pop Coventry trio whose logo has ignored the invention of desk top publishing and whose guitars make you want to get up and dance.

The Ripps are the kind of band to put a smile on your face on even a cold and miserable December morning because you know that a few minutes in front of any stage they're bouncing up and down on will warm your heart and tickle your ears. They yelp like The Libertines, draw out their lines like John Lydon and fill the room with enegy.

While Vandals has its moments, though, it's actually B-side Hypocrites that's the star of the package, drawling "You're a hypocrite, you're a hypocrite" over and over again in the way that "anger is an energy" must be true if you say it enough times.

As if that's not enough already, their frontman's called Patch Lagunas. How punk is that! Can I adopt them, please?
