Release Date Friday 2nd October 2026
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.
PowerSolo have spent the last three decades donkey kicking holes through the walls of good taste and building their own crooked kingdom from the rubble, and "Rip It!" might be their most gloriously deranged collection yet. Alongside new guitarist and co-conspirator Charlie Shapiro (aka Jew Curly), frontman Kim Kix dives headfirst into Curly's basement to create a record fuelled by a mutual obsession with the forgotten corners of music history and the Garage Future-the kind of strange, dust-covered compilation LPs packed with novelty songs, regional oddities, accidental genius and beautiful musical mistakes.
Every track on "Rip It!" inhabits its own crooked theme. Pills, Naked Police, Slippers, one exceptionally Bad Bad Man, a Plastic Maniac, a 14-year-old desert explorer named Habibi Bob-it's as if a stack of longed-for but forgotten novelty records, comic books, fever dreams, late-night television broadcasts, and cycling highlight reels were thrown into a sack, shaken, kicked violently, dragged back out and handed a microphone. The album even takes a detour into Greenlandic-Danish political relations on the bitter break-up song Leave Me Alone, featuring Greenlandic artist and actress Nive Nielsen.
Like the best oddball records, "Rip It!" refuses to sit still. The title track locks listeners into a mind-numbing synth trance while impossibly catchy guitar lines dance barefoot across the surface of your brain. Elsewhere, My Songs lands like a slap across the face, demanding listeners abandon dignity, grab an air guitar, sprint to the nearest mirror, and finally become the obnoxiously confident rock star they've always known they could be.
It's dumb. It's smart. It's catchy. It's out in October 2026. Forget everything else. Consume bad food and violence. Drop kick your better judgment off a cliff. Then rip it!
