Ripe is an online music publication that covers the Australian music scene and its best-emerging artists. Established in 2012, it is run by a dedicated core team of music lovers, with the help of a small group of talented contributors.
The Ripe was founded in 2012 by Huw Nolan (Good Manners) and Tom Pitney (Punkee), who worked tirelessly to build it into a credible source for the best new music. Having become Ripe in 2015 with a new focus on Australian music, Brandon John (Tone Deaf) took over operations and was running the site with the help of a small team of music-lovers. As of 2017, Ripe is now co-run by our music, writing and photography alumni. Our small team endeavours to find the best in Australian music and events – focusing on being a platform that everyone can enjoy.
