Ripper LA is an independent music label and creative collective based in Los Angeles, dedicated to amplifying bold, genre-defiant voices in modern music. Built by artists, for artists, Ripper LA champions raw expression, honest storytelling, and the grit that lives between the underground and the edge of the mainstream.
Our flagship act, Moth Menace, embodies the label’s vision—delivering a haunting blend of alt-rock, dark carnival energy, and cult-noir Americana. With music rooted in survival, rebellion, and truth, Moth Menace stands as a reflection of the label’s commitment to authenticity over industry polish.
Ripper LA isn’t just a label. It’s a movement.
Moth Menace is more than a band—it's a sound, a label, and a statement. Operating under the umbrella of Ripper LA, Moth Menace serves as both the flagship act and creative force behind the label's uncompromising vision. Based in Los Angeles, the collective blurs the lines between music, visual art, and underground culture, with a focus on raw authenticity and emotionally charged storytelling.
Following the release of their latest single, "So Low", Moth Menace is gearing up to unleash their debut project, the MENACE EP, this October. These new tracks dive deeper into the band’s signature sound: a collision of alt-rock, industrial textures, and lyrical themes that pull from cult survival, isolation, and the darker sides of the human experience.
At its core, Ripper LA is a DIY label pushing back against manufactured trends—led by the very artists creating the work. Moth Menace isn't just our sound. It's our standard.
