		Ripsaw is also known in the Bahamas, or at least a closely related style called rake and scrape.

	Grooves \| San Francisco Bay Guardian
		Though its stringed instrumentation and soothing vocals are conventionally pleasurable to listen to, the album opposes the vacant appeal of pop music by ensnaring you with several intriguing layers of meaning at once.
		I'm projecting a little bit, maybe, but there is no doubt this music was made from some kind of inner battle, and the shit is heavy and weird.
		The album has the usual TOBM confluence of 10 zillion types of music melded into a single, hurtling freak-out that, almost inexplicably, is as linked to straight rock forms as it is to free experimentation.

	exploited cd review
		Put a ripsaw guitar and pummeling drumbeat behind Lenny Bruce or Sam Kinison and you would get an album similar to The Exploited's "Fuck the System." The only difference is those albums would probably be more engaging and clever than the latter.
		Just because these old guys wail on their instruments like they did in the old days, doesn't automatically mean the songs are any good (fill in any classic rocker still touring here).
		As the band ages, their raw emotion should be focused into an intelligent argument and, regardless of a self-imposed genre, the music should reflect this growth.

		~Ripsaw News, October 29, 2003.The Dukes of Hubbard, which originated in Hubbard County, Minnesota, is a 5-member jam band based in Duluth, MN.
		The instrumental breaks are intelligent, stimulating, and very much in the moment, but the music is almost always heading somewhere new, often when you're least suspecting it.
		And despite the genre-hopping and song-switching, the music does not lack coherence or sound disjointed in any way.There is a stereotype that this type of band can put on a phenomenal live performance, yet lack the ability to capture the energy and intensity of their shows in a studio recording.

	AAN’S Smallest Paper Publishes in Rock 'n' Roll Time \| Association of Alternative Newsweeklies
		The acerbic Ripsaw -- named after a Duluth paper published in the roaring 20’s by a man whose goal was “to rip them [politicians] open and see whether they are sound or rotten” -- quickly made its mark as pro-Duluth but anti-establishment.
		Ripsaw began with a two-person staff and a lot of volunteers, but has since gone weekly and hired a handful of staffers.
		The passion was evident to members of AAN’s Admissions Committee, which in 2001 called Ripsaw, “Witty, eloquent, and full of spark!” The committee also noted that the paper was “(n)ot without its faults, but clearly (in terms of bang for limited buck) this year’s single best applicant.

		Ripsaw Falls features two smaller drops before the final steep drop and they're all tied to the chase theme very well.
		Ripsaw Falls is perfectly themed and a true delight to walk around, look at, and ride through.

		The metal genre is no doubt the most extreme type of music and artists choose to express their feelings and image in various directions.

		Less involved in the underground, but influenced in music I overlooked since I was so focused on non-mainstream music.

		The term also refers to the "ripping" sound produced by the action of passing a metal object called the "scraper" (usually an old knife) along the side of the saw's teeth.
		There are several theories as to why the carpenter saw was used as an instrument and like all indigenous folk music, our ripsaw is the product of the passion of a people looking for a way to produce sound and music with available materials.
