ROPE 7” cover

“Montagne” is the recording debut of the Brooklyn band Rope. It began as a one man band studio project by Josh Clark, but has recently turned into a fully operational machine. Playing no-holds-barred rock, somewhere between the slow-burn chug of Crazy Horse and the power pop metal of Thin Lizzy. Rope favors all things guitar. With guitarists John Stendrini (Federale) and Zach Cale (Illuminations) flanking Josh, a natural chorus effect materializes between the guitars that supplies the band with a sonic palette for constructing mammoth sounding riffs.
“Woven of interplaying guitars, restless vocals and psychedelic jams, Rope’s debut EP has a feedback-drenched, rock band sound made up of performances largely improvised by Clark, himself.”
-Janice Brown (Sonic Scoop) READ COMPLETE ARTICLE >>
“NYC rock in name and deed, driving and electrified, bright and just a little dirty.”
-Doug Mosurock (Still Single) READ COMPLETE REVIEW >>
Rope roll out the shag carpet right from the get-go on “Montagne”—the showmanship in their riffs prove a genuine love for twin guitars, Urge Overkill and a bohemian saloon swagger, usually unheard post-2002.
