Addictive song: New Low

The band is Middle Class Rut (also known as MC Rut). They are a Sacramento alternative rock duo consisting of a vocalist/guitarist and a vocalist/drummer.

The song is “New Low.” Awesome song.

I first heard these guys on a local show months ago while driving home after dropping my mother off one Sunday. In the same show I heard Civil Twilight (another cool band I have written about) and these guys came on with this song and I turned up the volume and thought about driving faster (although tough to do on golden gate bridge).

Regardless.

Being a local radio show they skimmed over the name of the band and all I heard was “Sacramento” and that was that.

Months later and an Atlanta radio station drops the song into rotation.

The following quote summarizes these guys sound:

“…it’s mind-blowing to witness the sheer depth and complexity of the sound these two guys are capable of unleashing on their own…but once the novelty subsides, you’re left with incendiary post-rock with visible traces of ‘90s alternative.”

Here is the song and video:

The following is a bonus.

This was the first song they released that was worth a shot and was a cult favorite:
