The Tripwires are Seattle rock &amp; rollers with the emphasis on "And Roll". Fronted by John Ramberg with Johnny Sangster, Jim Sangster, Dan Peters &amp; Mark Pickerel in the fold. The extended family includes the Model Rockets, Minus 5, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Young Fresh Fellows, Sharing Patrol, Neko Case and many others.<hr>The Riffbrokers are described as powerpop twang- sounds like a midwest band from the '80s trying to sound like a British Invasion band. Many are reminded of Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, the Replacements.
