THE RUTS DC – 40 YEARS OF THE CRACK
With their unique blend of raucous punk rock laced with reggae and dub, the Ruts were one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Britain’s late-’70s scene. Their career was cut cruelly short by the death of their singer in 1980, but still the group released six crucial singles and a seminal album in their short lifetime. They were also a powerful force within Britain’s Rock Against Racism movement, ensuring a political legacy at least as vital as their music.
On July 16, 2007, the band re-formed for a benefit concert. This inspired the band to return to the studio, where they would record material over the next five years. Rhythm Collision, Vol. 2 arrived in 2013.
