The Rut--Self-titled {self-released}
The Rut is the new band from Andrew Parrish on vocals {Besides being a good friend he is the one who got me interested in doing my own zine but enough of the history lesson.The Rut is a very hard band to put into a certain genre {or even genre's} the musical styles very from cross-over punk/thrash to a more rocknroll vibe with some death metal creeping in the songs.The guitars are all over the place one minute doing a rock style riffs the next playing cross over thrashy/punk styles.The drumming is good mix of mid-paced rock with some faster beats and Andrew's vocals are done really well with clean vocal patterns {This is my first encounter hearing him sing like this} and some screams,This is a good release for anyone who wants to listen to something different.
