Ruth Ruth follow-up their 1995 debut with an urgent, six-song effort bursting with joyously-buzzing two and three minute pop ditties that pay well-deserved attention to vocalist/bassist Chris Kennedy's effortless way with semi-classic bubble gum hooks and sweeping, anthemic, angst-ridden AM-radio-blaster choruses.
Lovingly produced by Epitaph prez Brett Gurewitz, this hyperkinetic EP is essential listening thanks to Kennedy's curiously neurotic world view, three potential alterna-hits ("Tenderlung," "Jerome" and "Ugly Talents") and five-minutes of curiously-heavy, Rage Against Van Halen-ish crunch-rant known as "Daddy Can't Shoot."
This will be appear in stores on September 24.
