"Stomping stadium-indie from Wolverhampton, it's got that epic sweeping sound of, say, Doves, confident emotive vox and big choruses in the U2 bracket" - Bugbear
It is with some sadness that we announce the farewell of The Rubikons. After a great few years we have decided to call it a day. There’s been no arguments, no drunken fights, but we have all come to the agreement that we’ve taken the band as far as we could, and now feel it is time to bow out on mutual terms.
We leave with a great catalogue of tunes that we are very very proud of and some memories that will stay with us forever! We’d like to thank everyone who has supported us over the years - there are too many people to mention! We’d also like to thank everyone that has ever showed up for a gig! There’s been some wicked nights!
As a final farewell we will be making our gig on April 18th at The Civic Bar, Wolverhampton, our last one. All other gigs unfortunately will be cancelled. It would be good to see everyone there who has supported us so please get in touch with the band as there are limited tickets available! Failing that, you can try on www.wolvescivic.co.uk.
No excuses, no regrets, just the end of a journey and the start of another!
arite boys listen i am diong recordings for bands. i charge £10 initially then a further £10 per band member, per song cheap as shit chips. so,if ur a solo artist its £20 a tune. if theres 3 ofu its £40 quid a tune, and so on so, if you want recordings doing let me know
the recordings are ideal for those tunes you want on disc but dont wanna spend £100's on in a proper studio. my recordings are sound. raw as fuck have a listen to some of my examples. ignore the bands themselves, some of them are proper shit. just note the sound!
