"We're not trying to change anybody...we're just showing people who we are." says Ruth Ruth's Chris Kennedy. The band's album Laughing Gallery not only shows people who they are, but knocks them out in the process.
At time when mindless punk is in its abundence Ruth Ruth comes along to break the cycle. The music of Ruth Ruth is a Ramones type punk with more musical diversity and better lyrics. Lyrics like "Bleeding in the dirt, I hear them laughing at me." from the song "I Grew Up", a song about the life of lower education. Making things harder are the parents saying things like "I've reared a faggot and I'm afraid he'll look like me". Another great song is "I Killed Meg The Prom Queen". Why would you want to kill a lovable cheerleader prom queen? The answer is "...she blew me off cause I couldn't get it up. She'll tell the whole town...I had to shut her up."
Going from playing in front of no one to having the hit single and video for "Uninvited", Ruth Ruth is well on their way to be a huge success.
All this and more from a band named after a movie character in "The Incredible Shrinking Woman", you gotta love them!
