Band Bio
Addicted to Pork Chop Sandwiches, Dreadnok:Ripper are a Chicagoland based suicide-squad of poorly trained muscians/mercenaries hired by the acclaimed Australian ne'er-do-well of the same name. Fearing capture or death at the hands of "America's daring, highly trained, special mission force" refered to simply as G.I. Joe, the Dreadnok known as Ripper personally assembled this ragtag team of overweight and under-employed twenty-somethings. Hoping to avoid detection, Ripper vicariously lives out his secret life long ambitions of being a positive, hard-working musician through these dim-witted youths. While you may ask yourself, "why would Ripper name his band after himself?" I would say to you, don't ask too many questions. Instead, sit back, laugh and accept the fact that Dreadnok:Ripper are here and they mean business. GIVE 'EM THE STICK.
