Ruth
These four melodic rockers signed to Tooth & Nail in 2006 and immediately found themselves in position "A" in almost every way. With a forthcoming debut album (Second Hand Dreaming) produced by Aaron Sprinkle (Jeremy Camp, Anberlin, MxPx) and a long list of great tours (including Seventh Day Slumber last month and Falling Up this month), Ruth is set up for an immediate impact. And you will never meet a more pleasant bunch of dudes.
"The mission statement for the band is to encourage people to look in the right direction for hope in our lives," states front man and songwriter Dustin Ruth. "The album title expands on this idea... It means if we seek the Lord first, He will give us the desires of our hearts. We just want to delight Him."
Second Hand Dreaming is rich in texture and melody, with influences stretching from The Wallflowers to Oasis to Third Eye Blind. This is a record of accessible, melodic, rock songs with taste and class. It is a genuine in emotion and rich in real-life references. |
