Not since the early sixties have such songs been penned – sing-along lyrics, catchy riffs, raucous harmonies and unforgettable melodies. The songs can soar with the energy of a wild stallion or steal your heart away with their raw honesty.
The Rustlers proved this again in June 2006 with the release of their second album, “Sad Dark Lies”, a batch of fourteen original new songs, just as exciting and toe-tapping as their first offering.
In January 2008 The Rustlers released "Leavin' Me". The album includes another crop of completely original tunes and finally has a sound and feel of where The Rustlers want to be. Another album is soon to be in the works for 2009 and will include crowd favourites "When My Angel Comes", "Lookin' For Love", "Lord Take", "Born To Love You", "Say Goodbye" and many more!
