Sacramento’s MIDDLE CLASS RUT--SEAN STOCKHAM (vocals, drums) and ZACK LOPEZ (vocals, guitars)—has ventured out on their first U.S. tour in support of their debut album, NO NAME NO COLOR, which was released October 5 on Bright Antenna Records through Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group. The duo’s trek—as openers for Filter--launched October 24 in Tyler, TX and lasts through November 12 in St. Paul, MN.
MTV has added the first single, "New Low," to the short list of artists that will be featured in the next round of the prestigious “Discover & Download” program and the video has been added to rotation at MTV2 and mtvU. The video for "New Low" initially premiered on MySpace in September as part of their selective "Introducing..." monthly program with FUSE. Watch the video for "Now Low" at MTVu HERE.
“New Low” has been added to radio stations across the country including Sirius XM’s “Alt Nation” (Sirius 21/XM 47), Live 105 (San Francisco), Q101 (Chicago), 99X (Atlanta), KPNT (St. Louis), KNDD (Seattle), KRBZ (Kansas City), KEXX (Phoenix), WLUM (Milwaukee), WRZX (Indianapolis), 89X (Detroit), and many more. "New Low" is now one of the most requested new songs in Seattle, Kansas City, Tucson, Rochester, Albany, Detroit, Colorado Springs, and Milwaukee. And as BBC Radio One’s Zane Lowe proclaimed: "‘New Low sounds SO fresh...let's make history with Middle Class Rut."
MIDDLE CLASS RUT’s music artfully blurs the line between heavy and melodic, showcasing the band’s skill for raw, energized rock and roll that is equally complex and immediate. The record is enormous and rowdy, propelled by the duo’s ability to make heavy music tasteful and accessible. Opening number “Busy Bein’ Born” represents the rest of the disc, setting a tone and pace for the impassioned tracks that follow.
NO NAME NO COLOR compiles 12 songs from a span of several years, showcasing a breadth of time without ever losing its clear impression of cohesion. A few tracks have appeared previously on the band’s three EPs, which they released in 2007, 2008 and 2009, but the album as a whole is a new construction that reveals a band with a unique creative process. The majority of the songs have been tested on the road during tours in the U.S. with Social Distortion, Them Crooked Vultures and Alice In Chains, and in Europe with The Bronx and …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead.
"Busy Bein' Born" available as a postable/blogable MP3, download the MP3 HERE. (please host yourself, don't use this link)
As Alternative Press raved: “There may only be two of them, but the amount of noise Middle Class Rut make is phenomenal. Not only that, they’re proof that you can stick to your guns, keep your integrity and still be successful.”
