"We are The Ropes.

We want to fight you." 
The Ropes are an indie rock band from New York City, composed of vocalist and bassist Sharon Shy and multi-instrumentalist "Toppy".  Originally founded as a full band in 2005 they became a duo in early 2008. The Ropes have toured throughout the US and UK, opening for acts such as The Used, Innerpartysystem, The Matches, and The Bravery. Music critic Allan Raible chose What They Do For Fun as No. 15 on the ABC News 50 Best Albums of 2008. 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.
Tricky sampled The Ropes song "Love Is a Chain Store" on the lead single "Does It" from his 2013 album False Idols.
