The Shooting Rubys - Mood Swings & Cravings

This Canadian band is more than just proficient with their rootsy, 12 string jangle and full bolstered vocal harmonies, they put together a winning and icredibly formula of classic(but competent) Replacements, Blue Rodeo(a lot!), some early REM, The Windbreakers, Wilco and Ryan Adams. Just consistently excellent songwriting and rootsy charm overflow and hint a band who must rock live. "a distinctive sound bolstered by solid melodies and harmonies, creative guitar work and a steady rhythm section...Fans of catchy guitar rock will not be disappointed"-TuneVault. "the Rubys particular blend of music runs the gamut from straight-ahead power pop to folksy rock to introspective alt-country gems. Amongst several stand-out tracks on their new CD, "Even If" and "Perfect Mood" bear witness to the Rubys ability to craft a catchy, hook laden rock tune while "Never Come Around" is as lilting and bittersweet an alt-country dirge as you`re ever likely to hear. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the Shooting Rubys"-Orcasound. Oodles of heartfelt and warmly earnest vocals shine inside all the jangle `n strum, making this a Very Highly Recommended fix for fans of rootsy jangle pop!
