Helve

What an incredible few days! Ripcord Records Tour No2 is done!!
Gutted we didn't get to play the Birmingham show but Exeter and Manchester were amazing. Solars and Vnder A Crvmbling Moon we the perfect tour mates, and smashed it each night, and all incredibly lovely people. Both bands are and always will be family and we cannot wait to play with you both in the future. Huge thanks to Civil Service for sorting the Manchester gig, great to see most of you there but really sad you couldn't play although getting to hear the upcoming album was a big bonus and it's sounding huge!!
Thank you to all that ventured out to see us, spoke to us, bought merch, and thank you to each of the sound engineers and staff at each venue.
Huge thank you to Chris Neal for masterminding this whole tour, and I'm sure there will be many more to come, we admire your incredible dedication. Big ol love for the Ripcord family ❤️❤️❤️

That's us done for gigs this year and what a year its been. We will be back in January and in the meantime we continue work on album #2

It's with a heavy heart that we're having to pull out of tonight's show at The Flapper in Birmingham due to a family emergency. We were already down a vocalist with Andy from VACM filling in but this is unfortunately unavoidable and family comes first. We are hoping to continue with the Manchester date tomorrow but at this stage unsure.
Our love to Solars and Vnder A Crvmbling Moon for tonight 🖤

Exeter were a reyt good knees up last night! On our way over to Birmingham tonight to continue Ripcord Records Tour No 2 with our labelmates and buddies in Vnder A Crvmbling Moon and Solars 🤘

3 great Ripcord bands on tour! Helve, Solars, Vnder A Crvmbling Moon and a bonus Civil Service on the last date.

Last night was INSANE!!
What a way to mark our 10th birthday and celebrate friendships and the scene!!
Every single band we're off the scale incredible.
Huge thanks to those that made it down and made the night all the more superb! Can't believe the distances that some had travelled (surprise appearance from our irish brothers in Raum Kingdom you lovely lads!), and we're honestly humbled. 😳
Eiger Studios were the perfect hosts, such a good venue with lovely friendly staff and sound engineer.
And we save the biggest thank you for Nicki Foley and JJ Jaff Flames at RoadtoMasochist. We've said multiple times over the last year or so how much we appreciate youse but don't feel that words do justice. You created an event that will become a lasting memory for us and for everyone there, wonderfully curated by wonderful people, including wonderful people. Thank you a million times and more!!!
