A fantastic band. They really should of been massive and probably would of but for Malcolm Owen's death. Posted in memory of both Malcolm and Foxy.

Tracks

1) In A Rut

H-Eyes for me. Though In A Rut is a slow menacing tune that keep such a nice groove.

The Ruts; top knotch stuff. Like The Lurkers said "Heroin it's all over" a fucking shame!

Always remember seeing The Ruts on some Saturday morning kids show that was filmed on a boat, bout 79, cant remember the name of it. Anyone? I'm sure they did 'Babylon's Burning'. I remember just being blown away. I think 'The Crack' has to be up there in the best albums ever. No contest. Just hasn't aged at all. One band I would dearly loved to have seen.

Can't think of that kids programme John. I remember there was a 16 Up programme about Malcolm after his death to warn about the dangers of smack but I can'r remember nothing about them being on a boat. It might turn up on Punktorrents one day, you never know!
