Artist History The band has undergone many changes since the beginning. We started off as a 4 piece group for a talent show, and then decided to stick together and continue to refine our skills. After parting ways with our first bassist, we found a new and creative influence in Mike Bozza. Just recently we have added another guitar to the mix with Matt Miller. These two, along with the original core of Nick on vocals, Rob on drums, and Geoff on the guitar form the sound distinctly known as Ripping Hammer. Oh yeah, and we love 80's metal (though it doesnt influence our style ha), hence the name. Its a long story...
