Rock and Electronic
The Ropes are an indie rock duo from New York City, composed of vocalist and bassist Sharon Shy and multi-instrumentalist "Toppy".Sharon Shy and Toppy founded The Ropes as a duo in 2005. They briefly began performing with a full band in 2006, but after describing working with other band members as “a living hell,” they chose to officially be a duo in early 2008. The Ropes have toured throughout the US and UK, opening for acts such as Crocodiles, Innerpartysystem,The Bravery, Chapel Club and Sunday Girl. They have been compared to The Cure, Interpol, Garbage, Poe, The Knife, and the Velvet Underground, and they cite 1950s French New Wave as an influence.
