Riptides Going Down Syndrome

By Rob Ferraz
Published Apr 01, 2000
Take a bit of Screeching Weasel, a dash of Ramones and a pinch of surf rock and you come up with Ottawa's Riptides. Let this low-brow quartet regale you with tunes like "Zombies Ate My Girlfriend," "Chucky's A Fuck" and "Me Love You Long Time." Just when you thought Ottawa was chock full o' navel-gazing emo nerds, the Riptides come along and stomp the myth real good. (Goblin)
