The Ripple Effect

The ripple effect is a power-pop project without constant members. It's just about to mix several influences and jam with people who share the same passion for true poppunk. And "true" means: No Mtv-stuff and whatelse is classified as "punkrock" nowadays. So this is like a leftover-song band: Songs that doesn't fit in the other bands we're in.
- we have a 5-track EP out on Analog Und Ehrlich -
Review from VOICE OF REASON-Fanzine:
"THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND WHEN I FOUND THIS CD IN MY MAILBOX WAS THE COOL LOGO WHICH IS A FUNNY "BACK TO THE FUTURE" RIP OFF. AFTER I THREW THE CD IN MY PLAYER I WAS WONDERING IF DAVE SMALLEY HAD ANOTHER PROJECT APART FROM DOWN BY LAW AND DAG NASTY, 'CAUSE THE VOCALS ARE TOTALLY IN THE VEIN OF THOSE OF DAVE, WHICH IS A COOL THING BECAUSE I THINK THAT HIS VOICE IS REALLY UNIQUE WITHIN THE PUNK AND HARDCORE SCENE. WELL, NOT QUITE UNIQUE WHEN YOU TAKE A LISTEN TO THE RIPPLE EFFECT, HEHE... THE MUSIC THESE GUYS FROM GERMANY IS MID TEMPO POP PUNK WITH ACOUSTIC GUITARS AND LOTS OF MELODIES. I WAS REALLY SURPRISED WHEN I READ THAT THIS BAND IS MORE OR LESS KIND OF A PROJECT BECAUSE THE SONGS WERE TOO MELODIC FOR THE MEMBERS' MAIN BANDS. HOPEFULLY THE RIPPLE EFFECT WILL CONTINUE THEIR QUEST FOR THE PERFECT POP SONG IN THE FUTURE AND COME UP WITH SOME MORE NICE TUNES. FOR A DIY RELEASE THE FOUR SONGS COME OVER IN GREAT SOUND QUALITY. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM OR CHECK OUT AN MP3."
