Union Jack & The Rippers

Union Jack & The Rippers is California's premier New Wave of British Heavy Metal tribute. Unlike many tributes that feature the catalogue of one artist, Union Jack & The Rippers pay homage to an era playing the classics that were most likely the soundtrack to your high school years focusing on ’79-mid 80s! Union Jack plays metal classics from bands such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Accept, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, early-Def Leppard, Grim Reaper, UFO, Angel Witch, and more! The band performs electric high-energy performances that inspire never ending crowd sing-alongs & air guitar shred fests. The band’s ranks boast a stellar twin-guitar attack of world renown metal guitarist Steve Smyth (One Machine, ex-Testament, Forbidden, Nevermore, Vicious Rumors) & Kiyoshi Morgan (Space Vacation, ex-Vicious Rumors). The band is rounded out by charismatic frontman Dylan Dominguez Waltz (ex-Shotgun Harlot, Motogruv, Sarcoma), stellar bassist Abel Ibanez II, and long-time NorCal veteran drummer Carlton Powell (Aqua Nett, Mother Hips).
