Ruts DC have been extraordinarily prolific since the release of their last studio album, Counterculture?, back in 2022. With their creative juices flowing freely, they cut two further volumes of their acclaimed ElectrAcoustiC series, with volume two arriving in 2023 and volume three in 2024. Now the band are set to return again with a brand new four-song EP titled Bound In Blood, that is set for release on September 11th via Sosumi Recordings. Due for release on CD and 10” vinyl, the EP leads with the song Bound In Blood, that first appeared in acoustic form on the aforementioned ElectrAcoustiC Volume 3, followed by another brand new song titled Wear The Crown’, along with Dub The Crown and a remix of Born Innconcent. There are no A and B side preferences, leaving the listener or DJ to decide according to their mood and/or choice.
Lovingly crafted for their own Sosumi Recordings label: the EP is packaged in stunning artwork based on an original painting by Oliver Howard, which continues The Ruts legacy of “Howard Artwork” that was initiated when Rupert Howard created the artwork for The Ruts 1979 debut album The Crack, with the original painting now owned and cherished by Henry Rollins. As they move towards The Ruts 50th anniversary tour in 2027, the solid trio of Segs, Ruffy and Heggarty are joined on this release by Rhythm Collision collaborator Mitt Gamon on harmonica and Boz Boorer (The Polecats / Morrissey) on extra guitars to make this a very special one-off release. Bound In Blood can be pre-ordered on CD and on red and black smoke vinyl here.
