The Denim Rips

A completely acoustic string band formed in ‘Les Borges Blanques’ (Lleida) in the early 2017 in the finest traditional American style from the 30s and 40s decade.


The main members are: Aleix Estradé, Xabier Villafranca, Marc Jordà, Juan Castro, Àlex Llimós and Jaume Llados, all of them passionate about American Roots music.


It’s a style clearly sealed and inspired in the traditional folk music from USA, with a bluegrass touch, old-time and country, although you can also find Irish folk details in their compositions, as well as contemporary music such as punk, rock or indie.


Their bare lyrics are rough and sweet at the same time, they can make somebody laugh or cry, but no one will be left indifferent.


Their live concerts are dynamic, intense and assorted, playing acoustic and faithfully transmitting what comes out from their voices and instruments to send it to the crowd.


In May 2020 they release their first single "You and Me Again" included in the compilation "Estrats - Sons de Ponent / Vol.2" promoted and distributed by Enderrock magazine
