RUTS DC: NEW VIDEO AHEAD OF DECEMBER TOUR

RUTS DC START DECEMBER TOUR AND RELEASE NEW VIDEO FOR ‘FACES IN THE SKY’

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE :

www.rutsdc.com

Fresh and fighting fit from a lengthy European tour, Ruts DC return this month with an extensive December tour and a new video for ‘Faces In The Sky’, the opening track from last years acclaimed ‘Counterculture?’ album.

“The video captures the intention of the song,” says bassist and singer John ‘Segs’ Jennings. “It’s the paranoia of these modern times. The lyric reads, ‘How can we tear the dream from a lie?’ – Beware the tech you wish for.”

The video perfectly compliments the songs sense of foreboding and dread, yet like all great Ruts DC compositions, it’s defiant and bold in its lyrical and musical approach.

BAND OF THE DAY: NAMELESS FRIENDS

© Newspaper WordPress Theme by TagDiv

Ruts DC are an English reggae-influenced punk rock band, notable for the 1979 UK Top 10 hit Babylon's Burning , and an earlier single In a Rut , which was not a hit but was highly regarded and regularly played by BBC Radio 1 disc jockey John Peel. The band's newfound success was cut short by the death of lead singer Malcolm Owen from a heroin overdose in 1980. Despite this the band continued under a different musical style as Ruts D.C. until 1983 when they disbanded, the band later reformed in 2007.

RUTS and RUTS DC

What do you know about Ruts DC? What do you want to know about Ruts DC? It’s nearly fifty years since the two sevens clashed. In a little over fifty more years, they will clash again. 

Roughly around the time they last clashed the Ruts were hot wiring barbed wire guitar, passionate poetry and rhythm weaponry together somewhere in a London that probably does not exist anymore. Splicing heat haze dub thinking to the energy flash of punk ,close to the big bang of late twentieth century culture. Open to ideas. Committed to ideals. 

Some band’s sound punk. Some look punk. Some even look and sound punk. And some, simply, are punk. The Ruts were early challengers to the misunderstood notion that punk was a somewhat luddite dogma wherein complexity, creative exploration and musical prowess were considered a shameful affectation. 

Ruts and Ruts DC songs move with a precise muscularity and carry lyrics of eloquent and graceful rage. No two-chord thrash with shouting over the top.

Go back. Listen to everything. From the very beginning to now, with the forthcoming release of new album ‘Counterculture?’, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2016’s incendiary ‘Music Must Destroy’ album, due this November 11th via their own Sosumi Recordings. 

Counterculture. Now is the time. Was there ever an age with more reason to rebel? 

Counterculture. Do not think you can simply buy a way in. 

To Counter; to push against, to oppose and redress. By being a spectator, you are NOT a part of the counterculture.

“Counterculture? For us, it never went away,” says bassist and vocalist John ‘Segs’ Jennings. “We’ve always been on the outside and still are. It’s ok to be a freak. That’s why The Ruts started in the first place. If it’s still inside you, it’s time to light that flame again. Get to know what you don’t know. Come and borrow my lighter.” 

 Drums and Bass building the defence wall. Guitar and whatever else lobbed in stun/attack mode. That is Ruts DC. That is all you really need to know. 

People unite. 

After the initial fans only release in 2022,the Counterculture? LP was unleashed on the rest of the unsuspecting world.

  Official red vinyl was released April 2023 via Sosumi Recordings/Code7 distribution.

The much awaited ElectrAcoustic volume 2 is now available in the shop too.

And now, after 2 very succesful appearances at Rebellion Festival  23, European Dates and U.K.tour have been announced to take us to the end of  what will have been a busy year.

Never Surrender .

I am a photographer/musician/engineer living in Scotland. My passion is music and motocross and I share my work on facebook/punk4RT and facebook/madmaxmedia. I do like a bit of throw back to the heydays of the 60’s/70’s/80’s when it comes to taking shots of bands. I grew up on the music papers (NME/Sounds/Melody Maker) and drew influence from Pennie Smith/Jill Furmanovsky/Anton Corbijn/Bob Gruen/Adrian Boot/Charles Peterson.

Sarina Wiegman’s England are in a rut after ‘unnecessary’ defeat to France

“Two set pieces killed us,” said England captain Leah Williamson.

On the surface, that summed up the Lionesses’ “really disappointing” and “unnecessary” — in manager Sarina Wiegman’s words — 2-1 European Championship qualifier defeat by France at Newcastle’s St James’ Park on Friday.

England know France are threatening from set pieces and yet allowed their opponents opportunities to have them and then failed to deal with them.

Perhaps it may have been different had goalkeeper Mary Earps, who was forced off with a hip injury in the first minute, been commanding her team-mates from the two corners that undid England. But let’s not take anything away from Elisa De Almeida and Marie-Antoinette Katoto’s exceptional finishes on either side of half-time though.

England’s issues, however, run deeper than defensive set pieces. They neither looked after the ball well enough nor created clear-cut chances in front of goal. Wiegman opted for the centre-back partnership of Williamson and Millie Bright, a winning combination at the 2022 European Championship but one which she had not used since a 6-1 win over Belgium in February 2023.

Bright then sustained a knee injury a month later which ruled her out until the World Cup while Williamson ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in April of the same year. In the Belgium game, 16 months ago, Alex Greenwood played at left-back but against France, the most in-form England defender, who can play left-centre-back or left-back, was left on the bench.

When asked about the Manchester City player’s omission, Wiegman acknowledged Greenwood’s competence and impressive season but stood by her decision, explaining Bright and Williamson were chosen because of France’s pace and power. Yet Wiegman also preferred Jess Carter over Greenwood at left-back — resulting in a back line of four right-footed defenders — and presumably wanted more pace, a one-on-one specialist and a no-nonsense approach against France’s wingers Kadidiatou Diani and Delphine Cascarino.

But France did not target England’s full-backs as much as expected and rarely exploited the space in behind. For all of Carter’s defensive attributes, she does not have the ball-progressing qualities of Greenwood, and Wiegman’s side lacked creativity and a natural left-footer on that side.

The defence gave away the ball far too often. Bright, who only returned from a recurring knee niggle for Chelsea last month, looked rusty with some wayward passes and heavy touches although her physical presence against Katoto was noted. Williamson, meanwhile, also conceded possession at times but her line-breaking ball to Ella Toone for England’s goal proved why she is instrumental in breaking opponents down.

Although England dominated possession (58 to 42 per cent) and had more shots (12 to France’s seven), only two of the 12 shots were on target. Against France, England only created half chances and registered their lowest expected-goals (xG) total (1.19) of their last three games (1.34 versus Sweden and 2.72 versus Ireland ).

The second half felt flat and yet Wiegman waited until the 79th minute to make substitutions, bringing on Fran Kirby and Chloe Kelly for Georgia Stanway and Beth Mead respectively.

Wiegman unsure on Earps injury

“I took so long because I thought we played well,” Wiegman said. Neither replacement has played regular minutes nor been in good form for their club and yet Wiegman had more inexperienced but equally capable options in Aggie Beever-Jones, Grace Clinton and Jess Park at her disposal.

Wiegman explained Kelly “could bring something extra with her crosses and pace”, while Kirby, a “smart”, “experienced” player with “game intelligence” would provide more attacking threat. But neither could make enough of an impact in the 15 minutes they had on the pitch.

England now sit third in their group, tied on points (four) with Sweden but with an inferior goal difference and although all four sides could still qualify for the 2025 Euros — two through the play-offs — it is their first defeat in European qualifying since 2002. They are now on a run of just three clean sheets in 14 games, against Scotland , Belgium and Ireland.

Wiegman denied there were concerns and said her team played better in and out of possession against France than Ireland and Sweden but also spoke of the strength in opposition. France beat Sweden 1-0 away and also made the Nations League final, succumbing to World Cup champions Spain 2-0, having beaten Germany in the semi-finals.

France understandably celebrated victory over the reigning European champions in front of 42,561 fans in their own backyard — a feat only achieved once before in Wiegman’s 50 games in charge, a 2-0 defeat to Australia last April. France manager Herve Renard, who was serving a touchline ban, said: “It’s important to send a signal to our opponents.”

England are still in a rut and have a quick turnaround to address shortcomings before playing France away in three days.

“All eyes are on Tuesday,” said Stanway. “We have to get that win.”
