...thats right, we are soundtracking the sweet sweet violence in the worlds most KICK ASS game!!
we appear alongside juliette & the licks, LCD Soundsystem, !!! & UNKLE among others on the "Radio Broker" station in the game.

the track in question is the hailed and hated "THE TEACHER" off our 2006 "SHARP KNIVES & LOADED GUNS" album.

we even made a video for it - nothing less than a timeless masterpiece, one that basicly shows our fondness of satan, 80s hairmetal and spandex...

enjoy..

We'll let you download 6 kickass trax from our summertour, you burn the CD, print the artwork and make yourself a proper bootleg - now how cool is that???!!

This OPENDISC area will ofcourse be updated frequently with loads of on-tour stuff, and we'll make a little DVD EP available for download soon also - so be sure to check it out :)

Current mood:rockin on the edge of midnite!!!!

Yes it's true - the new video for our single "The Teacher", is a short documentary about the infamous Norwegian heavy-metal band Medallion!
Renowned director Magnus Martens found the lost tapes to the Medallion documentary that never happend, as the band broke up right before they were to release their debut-album "Livin' on the edge of Midnite" in 1984...

After that nobody heard from the band again, until now when the tapes have been compiled to make a sweet video for "The Teacher"...

The video is set to premiere 22/9 on Norwegian television, and will soon be available here on myspace...
We are proud to shed some light on this amazing group of rockers, and for more info - simply check their myspace page

Current mood:  savage

Yeah, we just posted our brand new cover of the Kids' "Forelska i Læreren" - or "The Teacher" as we like call our version :)

We wanted do a special coversong for this record, and ended up with visiting our norwegian hardrock-heritage...
The track was originally recorded by norwegian hardrockers The Kids in 1980, and now we've done our very own take on it  - so check it out up in the myspace player.

The Teacher - taken from the forthcoming "Sharp Knives & Loaded Guns" album, out 25/9 on Virgin Records....

The Ralphs will be heard all over the world when Playstation enthusiasts get their hands on the brand new FIFA-07 game.

FIFA is one of the most popular Playstation games around at the moment, and soon you can play your ass of, while listening to the new RM&JHB "Deepest Red"

"Deepest Red" is taken from the upcoming "Sharp knives & Loaded Guns" album which will be released in Norway in September, and in rest of the world next year.

The guys are really pleased with being a part of the FIFA-soundtrack, Ralph says:

-Playing Playstation in the tourbus has become a must for the Ralphs the last couple of years, and in lack of own physical skills, the FIFA game has become one of our favourites on our endless tours around Europe.

Drummer Tarjei has to agree:

- To be able to sit laidback in our tourbus playing worldclass football with our own music on the soundtrack is going to be fantastic! This is no less than a victory for all chubby musicians that love their computer games



...your new found FIFA friends, somewhere on tour - summer 2006
