Biography
Once apart of the big UK hardcore movement of the 80's, Ripcord were formed in 1984 in Weston-Super-Mare, England by Steve "Baz" Ballam and John Millier, playing an intense up-tempo style of hardcore very much inspired by the likes of Siege and Discharge. The band had a well established reputation in the scene despite being short lived, opening for such acts like Napalm Death, Heresy, Doom.
They threw together a line-up from the remains of Baz's old bands and recorded their first demo In Search of a Future in 1985.
