With the prevalence of programs like Garage Band, Logic Pro and Pro Tools it seems as if there is no lack of electronic music groups invading the scene. Forming in 2008 in New Haven, Connecticut, Twitch the Ripper has something that most do not—an ability to create catchy songs with interesting melodies. Putting aside their abilities for the moment, the duo of Jon Dobyn and Lonn Bologna have put together a resume that spotlights dedication if nothing else.

The two then set out on a whirlwind of tours across the United States, opening for The Ludovico Technique, Ego Likeness, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, 16Volt, God Module, Imperative Reaction and System Syn. While “claiming” to have spent three quarters of 2011 on tour (this reviewer who followed their touring closely thinks they are underestimating the time spent on the road), they found the time to write new material and record at Orange Sound Studio in Brooklyn with multi-platinum producer Mark Saunders taking on the production reigns.
