The Rubbergum, even though being a very short E.P, does not leave you wondering 'why did I spend my hard earned cash on that'. A new band from Scotland have a fresh vibe that takes you back to folk music your likely to listen to at country fairs in the deep American South rather than dingy pubs in London. Styled with long shaggy hair and flannel shirts to complete the look.
Their first release Stray Cat has an undertone of country fused with a bluesey set up with the lyrics. Different to bands that have already made their mark such as Mumford and Sons, the overall feel of their music focuses on the heavy use of guitar and tambourine but in a more relaxed, and less anxious way.
The Traveller fits its title as this is the type of trip you would listen to this on. Set the scene, cruising along a Texan highway, top down and hair blowing in the wind.N care or thought other than where the next Corona will come from and which energetic and basey song to play next. All five songs even though being country influenced, have a soulful feel.The lead has a deep, gravelly voice that is almost addictive. Good things will come from these four Scottish lads as long as they keep this up. Strum on.
