Counterculture? vinyl

Following on from 2016's most welcomed return to form Music Must Destroy, homegrown punk icons Ruts couldn't seemingly help themselves by the time 2022 had rolled around and Tory-led Britain had started to smell a bit Thatchery. Last year's Counterculture? lyrically dissects the purpose and definition of its title, especially within the context of the modern age. Introspectively analysing the place of an aging anarchist punk in these increasingly trying times for all generations, while packaging the sentiments into retro-fitted punk-rock of a golden era; the journey from the initial success of 'In A Rut' to the adoration and collaborations with Black Flag's Henry Rollins, to this text you're reading, to this album you should most definitely listen to, serves as yet another chapter in one of the UK's most vital and (still) relevant punk outposts.
