The Ruckus, a ska/rock band from Kansas, has just released its second CD called Never Stop. This summer they are touring all around the country in support of it. The Ruckus was formed back in the mid 2000s by eight guys who wanted to combine their love of live music and good times. The result is a bit like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones; a little rock and punk, with a heavy ska influence and progressive music thrown in, too.
The title track of the album is a fun, upbeat song that would fit in with any jazz music lineup. The horn section makes the song. It’s obvious that all the members of this band are incredibly talented. The singing isn’t what you would expect to hear with all the trumpet and saxophones playing in the background, it sounds a little like The Rolling Stones, and The Ruckus has found a way to make it sound great.
If The Ruckus sounds like your kind of music be sure to check them out when they come to Ohio to perform at Old Glory Studios in Canton on July 12th. The show starts at 9 and you don’t want to miss a minute of it, so make sure to get your tickets as soon as possible. -Julia Kazar
