The Tampere, Finnish-based stoner rock band RÜCKWATER did release their debut album "Supernova" on July 23rd, 2020 by Inverse Records. They release the first single and video in June for the tune "Rat In A Jar" and now they follow it up with the second single "Cruel Thing" and I thought we would pay attention to this by playing it here and now.
This 3-headed stoner rock band was born in 2010. Its first recording session took place in the same year. 7 songs were recorded during 3 burning hot summer days. "The masterpiece is called "So Far Out...". It was a huge review success... Well, it would've been if we had sent it to somewhere. But we don't give a fuck, comments the band!" Haha.
Since then they been giggin' and rockin' their asses off. And of course, they written some new classics meanwhile. Early in 2013, they began working on the second record. This time the process was much more diligent and it took many months to get the new 5 classics ready. But the result was worth the patience. "What's In The Box?" is probably the best EP ever!!!
In early 2016 they begin to record our third EP “Bonehead”. It was recorded live like the first EP “So Far Out”. Recording live is the most natural thing for the band. To catch the essence of RÜCKWATER. It makes the record feel more raw, real and dynamic. Frustration about almost everything is maybe the main source for the whole record, you can hear it in the lyrics and the way the band plays.
After the Ep is released, their intention is to play as many shows as possible and spread the message of Rück & Röll. Later this year, we begin to record our debut album, and hopefully get to play some shows abroad also.
Line-up:
Jussi Vehman / vocals & bass
Markku MacKone / vocals & guitar
Jarno MacKone / drums
Today's tune "Cruel Thing" is taken from the album "Supernova". The video is made by Jasu Rossi & Otto Lemetyinen. Vocalist/bass player Jussi Vehman comments: "Cruel Thing is absolutely atypical rock song about getting crazy with intoxicants. The hero of the story is trying to struggle her/himself clear from the unhealthy but oh, so dear habits. Musically this may be the most metal influenced piece of the album. I guess somebody's been listening to metal and thrash pioneers." Enjoy!
