New look Rusbies return with Bedsit

PUNK band The Rusbies are back with two new tracks and a new line-up.

The four-piece from the Sheffield area of the UK formed in 2013.

But the band told RealSoundsOK: "We've recently undergone a line-up change and sprouted an extra pair of bollocks (we're not shit any more), which definitely shines through in this release."

The band consists of frontmen Luke Thompson (vox and bass) and Nathan Keeble (vox and guitar) with Phil Mahmoud (guitar) and Jake Rusby (drums) making up the four.

They describe new track Bedsit as "a scrappy, in-your-face number with a chorus that pins you to the wall". They add: "The narrative revolves around shagging someone in a dilapidated flat."

You can listen to Bedsit below and Stop Drop Roll here.

How would you describe yourselves?

We're a three-piece garage rock 'n' roll band. We like to take the whole 70's punk deliverance and bang its head together with more modern indie bands such as The Libertines.

Who are your main influences musically?

The Clash, The Jam, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Fall, The Libertines.

What do you hope to achieve in music?

We hope to play as many gigs as humanly possible. And release as many songs as musically possible and hopefully get a few fans along the way.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?

When our friend Billy got that drunk he got kicked out of the venue before we even started playing. That was pretty funny

And what’s the moment you want to forget?

Hmmmmm, maybe when we embarked on this violently long bus journey to a gig and everyone was dying for a piss. That weren't rate good. 

If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?

Lead The Way. It's a song about  a guy missing a train, seeing a pretty lady. Falling in love with her, eventually leading up to getting his eyes gouged out by her. But regardless of this he is still gruesomely in love with her and asks her to lead the way, because he can’t see anything anymore because he’s had his eyes gouged out. We dig that.
