Hailing from the city music created (Nashville TN if you didn't already know), Rusty Shipp are creating incredible music that has the ability to transport anyone back to the 1990s. With heavy and obvious influences from bands like Nirvana, the Foo Fighters and Queens Of The Stone Age, they create amazing riffs and that are laced with traces of lank hair and ripped clothes, almost as if they were handed to them by Kurt Cobain himself.
Their first and only EP to date, Hold Fast To Hope, can only be described as awesome and although their influences can be dated to 20 years ago, they are creating current music that is worthy of a place in today's rock charts.
With most bands, having a theme can be slight gimmicky. Looking at Lordi, Steel Panther and even Kiss to some extent, can convey a band who take their image more seriously than their music, however, Rusty Shipp's nautical theme is not reflected by their attire, but is hinted at in certain guitar riffs that feel like heavy sea shanties sang by pirates and sailors alike. 'Davy Jones Ain't Got Nothing On Me' is a perfect example of this. Mixing classic shanties with their inspirations proves that the guys know exactly what they are doing and deserve ways more than <1000 listens on Spotify.
We cannot wait to hear what Rusty Shipp have stored for the future and we wish them the best of luck for any projects they go to work on.
You can buy the band's EP and band merch from their
