Rick Rude: “Winded Whale”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Rock n roll riffery. All the ‘R’s! Rick Rude, radical roaring rioters. Righteous. Relatable. Rarin’ to go. Our highlighted track “Winded Whale” stacks every cubic inch of available sonic space with electric guitar punch. Shades of dissonance. Shades of Pixies. Shades of The Presidents of the United States of America. Alt rock mayhem, with some delicious fretmashing and feedback squirelled away through the track. Off Laverne.
