Pretty Ripped

About Me

Hi, our names are Anna & Mairead (vox & guitars). We've been writing songs together & playing small gigs for about 6 months. In the not-too-distant future, we hope to expand our duo into a ballsout (Yes, even though we're girls!) blues/rock fourpiece with plans for world domination! So, er... watch this space...For more of our tunes played acoustically, go to... http://members.soundclick.com/pretty+ripped
REVIEWS: "Sounding well beyond her years, Anna carries a tune not too disimilar to a young Randy Crawford/Sia Furler. Along with the playing skills of Mairead O'Connor, the saying 'to know to much for their age' is both right and wrong. Right because a part of you feels they play with the heart of someone far older than they are. They are simply amazing, go and watch them and prove the assassins wrong, but hey, we won't be." Music Assassins
"Having always loved chacking out the interesting & diverse line-ups that the folks from the Sticky Collective bring to the city, I headed down to the Stock Room in time to catch the mighty talented Pretty Ripped. As I arrived they had already started (but apparently only just) Playing a stripped down set, minus drums & bass. The stuff these two pulled out was immense. Thier awesome, powerful vocals & smooth-as-fuck riffs worked like knife & fork!" - Steve Allen for Now Then Magazine
