“RUB songs are as colossal as Mount Everest and as deep and grand as the Grand Canyon. They are captivating, enduring, and timeless. As passionate admirers of diverse musical genres, they've taken on stadium-sized sounds with their latest album. "A Never Ending Walk", RUB's latest offering released August 8, 2009, paints with all the colors of rock and soul. Songs range from a Brian Eno-inspired ambient tune (The Twilight Prelude) to a Morrocan-feel, jazz-infused groove (When The World Was Flat), from a Black Sabbath/AC/DC hard rocker (Maybe) to a bluesy/pop number (Let Me Take You), from reggae dub/ska quirkiness (The Girl Who Sat Next To Me) to a gospel intro with an eighties groove (Love Is Raining), a Beatlesque tribute (Tonight?), and definitely an original RUB-Bo Diddley riff like no other (Daydreamer). The title track is basically a "dream" put into a song. Some songs have some very serious undertones, yet RUB never takes itself too seriously. Wide ranging are their rock influences, from icons like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Clash, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, U2, and Bo Diddley...God rest his soul. All are remarkably ever present in this project. Lyrical subject matters include: the possible apocalyptic year of 2012, love on the brink of salvation, suicide, anti-suicide, the past's innocence, philosophy, theology, history, a daydreaming-high-school-emo-girl, sin city, more love on the brink, and of course, man's incapacity to learn his lessons. RUB with Rob X on vocals and bass, TheXiler on guitar, and Bryan G on drums, started writing and recording in May of 2008. All three are avid music fans, songwriters and composers. In "A Never Ending Walk", the band felt they've created a very complete album, full of originality, tribute, joy, depth and meaning. They can't wait to play live and gain a massive audience. Watch out for them!”
