Reissue of the classic 1979 debut by Ruts. Although the sound is fiercely fast and hard, punk is not a big enough label to describe the rich mix of influencesin their music, including reggae, dub, R&B."I don't think there's another band like us. We play fast numbers. We play slow numbers. We play reggae and weplay good music and yeah we're very punk." Dave Ruffy. Formed in Southall, West London, in 1977 by Malcolm Owen (vocals), Paul Fox (guitar), John "Segs" Jennings (bass) and Dave Ruffy (drums), Ruts were one of the most musically diverse bands to come out of UK punk. After their first single, 'In A Rut', received much support from John Peel, they found chart success in 1979 with 'Babylon's Burning' first and 'Something That I Said'. Both singles would be re-recorded for their furious and raw debut LP, "The Crack". The album is a masterpiece that broadens the scope of punk by incorporating elements of R&B, classic rock and the influence of reggae and dub in tracks such as 'Jah War', while managing to create moments of dark and menacing atmosphere which fit the socially and politically-charged content of the songs.A few more singles in 1980 followed the LP release, but after several health problems Malcolm Owen died of a drug overdose in July of that year. The band would carry on as Ruts DC, but Owen's tragic death put an end to the original line-up of one of the most unique and gifted UK punk bands. Record Label: Vinilisssimo Style: PunkRock

This time he's got a whole 12" to himself and we're treated to a real tour-de-force of tribalised rollers, thick with atmospheric attitude, thumping subs and a shoulder-popping percussive workout. 'Blurry' runs at 133bpm allowing it to sit neatly between dubstep tempo and the increasingly popular 125-130 bpm bass / house scene that's been developing in the UK over the last couple of years. Taking things down an "ongy-bongy" path, this rhythm provides the soundtrack to a hunter chasing his prey through a humid jungle landscape, with fast weaving beats charged heavy by the deadly subs. The heat is on. 'Spearhead' sees Roska making a rare 140bpm trip, taking this rhythmical excursion neatly into dubstep tempo territory, creating an original cut which sits in it's own world of tribal grime. The bassline pounds heavy, eventually rising upward before suddenly plummeting back down to the murky depths from where it came, and back round again. Dis-hyeer quality dubstep music produced on the other side of the looking glass. Record Label: Tectonic Style: Dubstep
