RiPPED are an alternative rock band from Burlington, Ontario, Canada on Sextant Records/EMI Distribution. The band formed in 1994, and were originally called "Ripped Emotions".

Their first album was called "Bloodshot", produced by Jamie Stewart (The Cult) and Mike Hanson of Glass Tiger. The video for the song "The Haunting" from "Bloodshot", was used in an independent feature film called "Insight of Evil" by Nigel Hartwell. The video was also on rotation on Edge TV, a music video television channel.

Ashton Price of Morph Productions produced their second album, "Blow Your Mind". Dave Ogilvie who has been associated with such acts as Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, David Bowie and Skinny Puppy mixed their first single "Show Me". Dan Brodbeck, of EMAC studios in London, Ontario, mixed their other singles "Anodyne" and "A Daily Ritual". Dan Brodbeck is known best for working with popular bands such as The Salads, Jersey, Kittie and Dolores O'Riordan of The Cranberries.

The video for "Anodyne" by Ripped was nominated for best video in 2005 at the Hamilton Music Scene awards which take place in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The video was up against other notable acts such as Finger 11, Jersey and The Marble Index.

The two main songwriters of Ripped, Sandra Olender and Iain Carroll (aka Moody), are current students of Ramtha and both attend Ramtha's School of Enlightenment in Seattle, Washington.
