The brand new Rip It Up hits the streets today and it is a collector’s item not to be missed... To celebrate the glorious return of Fat Freddys to the airwaves and the top of the charts we talk to them in an in-depth exclusive; but that wasn’t enough for new editor Phil Bell – with designer Askew and artist Otis Frizzell on board the cover is an original Otis piece of art.
With the Freddys keen to do something outside the square, collaborating with Otis Frizzell and our designer Askew was the perfect way to begin my era with Rip It Up - Editor Phil Bell
As well as the Fat Freddys coup, this issue of Rip It Up is notable for being the first issue to include Back2Basics within it.
Merging Back2Basics material into Rip It Up was easy, it felt like the magazines had been competing for content - now Rip It Up has the best coverage of all genres - Editor Phil Bell
There are interviews with Marilyn Manson, Ciara, The Checks, Rancid, J.Williams, Kasabian, A-Trak, Motocade and Placebo to name a few. There are features on Terminator Salvation, the second series of Rocked The Nation, Transformers 2, CD, DVD and film reviews, gaming features, plus DVD’s and books. Also check out the exclusive Savage photoshoot, shot for us in location in Samoa by director Chris Graham. There’s also signed kicks, Foot Locker vouchers, Transformers 2 prizes, CD’s, Fatso DVD vouchers, movie tickets and the mother of all Guitar Hero Metallica prize packs to be won.
Out today, it’s 114 pages of great writing, exclusive interviews and the very best of music and entertainment. Our website www.ripitup.co.nz is full of exclusive content, twice daily news, prizes and blogs as well as the legendary Back2Basics forums.
