TRACKLISTING: A) Busy Bein’ Born, B) All Walks Of Life,

OVERVIEW: Although only in their mid 20's, Middle Class Rut - Zack Lopez (guitar/vox) and Sean Stockham (drums/vox) - are veteran musicians who were core members of Leisure, a much buzzed-about LA-based band that was signed to DreamWorks back in 2000 when Sean and Zack were only in their early teens. Following the dissolution of that band in 2003 and taking a hiatus from performing, Zack and Sean realised that they were meant to write music and perform together as a two-piece. After sequestering themselves in their studio back in Sacramento for several months, Middle Class Rut was officially born in December 2006, creating a sound that brings to mind the two most influential alternative American bands of the 90's; Rage Against The Machine and Jane's Addiction.

Alternative Press wrote up the band's compellingly intense performances, saying "…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 90's alternative".
