Local Reviews: The Rubes

This could be really good. For starts, they should take out the obvious rip off’s of everything that is famous from the 70’s and develop their own sound. Then, do a professional recording. Sloppy playing and tones that are all over the place drown what possibilities they had at blowing my clothes off. They’ve got good basics, but no originality. The album could use more range as well.  From one song to the next, they are quite monotonous and whiny. The Rubes are definitely a mutiny of THE revolution, not an addition to. Attend their CD release party and make your own decision.
