LA’s alt-punk garage band SP dives into the raw aftermath of heartbreak for “Ripper,” a track that doesn’t shy away from its wounds. The jangly, emo-infused guitar work has echoes of classic rock and punk energy, while the locked-in kick drum and bass push the song relentlessly forward. It all ends in its tragic bridge, where Albertson asks, “You’re in my dreams / Why are you haunting me? The emotion underneath the anger is revealed in that moment. “Ripper” is the sound of grief cranked up, a messy, honest release.
