Ruts DC have announced they will be releasing the sequel to their 1982 album Rhythm Collision, titled Rhythm Collision Volume 2.
Bassist John “Seggs” Jennings commented on how the new material came to be:
“We went to see Neil Fraser aka Mad Professor who we’d worked with on R.C Vol 1. We hadn’t seen him for a while, but when we started talking about the original record, Neil said, ‘Yeah, we should do another session sometime – how about next Tuesday?’ It was as simple as that. We had some lyrics and a couple of ideas, so we agreed to do it and basically plugged in and played.”
Rhythm Collision Volume 2 is due to be released May 13th via Sosumi Recordings.
