After releasing NINE new singles in 2022 from their upcoming album — officially titled “Cosmic Innuendo, Vol. 1: Dark Side of the Ocean” — which includes the radio hits “Bottom of the Barrel” and “What’s Kraken?”, Rusty Shipp have finally released the long-anticipated, full-length concept album to the public on digital streaming and retail platforms. The album stands as an artistic landmark for the band, being their first full-length concept album to be included in a larger, successive story arc, titled “Cosmic Innuendo.” Aside from occasional nods to the famous Pink Floyd album, the album conceptually emphasizes the balance between dark and light, descent and ascent, men and angels. The first half of the album (21 ½ minutes) called “DESCENT” follows the descent of a drowned sailor sinking past undiscovered creatures and mysteries to the bottom of the ocean where his soul is intercepted by a group of sea angels and taken to their underwater kingdom. The second half of the album (21 ½ minutes) is called “ASCENT” and explores this angelic kingdom, ruled by “Poseidon” the Ocean’s King Archangel. After debating the danger involved, the angels decide to ascend and see why men’s souls are sinking so often from the ocean’s surface, feeling a duty to help these men in the world above the waves, which the angels ironically call “Heaven.” Following this theme of balance, the songs create a diverse tapestry of eclectic genres (grunge, surf, punk, ska, reggae, metal, acoustic, etc) and innovative artistry, while each song also stands on its own as single-worthy with catchy riffs and melodic hooks that give each a pop commerciality. Beneath the surface of the artistic imagery of sea angels, the philosophical messages in each song reflect the angst and conflict that can clearly be traced back to the climate of 2020, in which the lyrics were written. Yet while confronting the issues of 2020 that tore the world apart, the songs carefully shift the perspective of the listener to the things that will bring us all together again, the real hope that is available to every soul on the planet Listen HERE: http://www.bit.ly/rs-dsoto https://open.spotify.com/album/4cWl4MItUwChNigClCO9rP?si=179c1576e78441e7 Read the full article

Sonically and melodically reminiscent of grunge and post-grunge era rock in the fashion of Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, etc., “What’s Kraken?” is on Rusty Shipp’s more aggressive side with an obvious punk influence and a Van-Halen-styled guitar solo, but not without the group’s iconic surf-guitar sounds and emphasis on catchy, Beatlesque vocal lines. The single was released with an official lyric video that brings out the message behind the lyrics through animated illustrations. “What’s Kraken?” is taken from the larger story of the upcoming concept album “Dark Side of the Ocean,” which is being released song by song in 2022. https://youtu.be/E7JjVNIm0GI Past Accolades: “Bottom of the Barrel,” the first single from the upcoming album, broke through the Top 25 list on Christian Music Weekly’s Rock chart and rose to #6; it also made it to #3 on RadioU’s Top 10 Most Wanted Songs (per listener requests), and #5 on BigBigHit’s USA National Rock chart. The music video premiered exclusively for an early release on CCM Magazine and on the CCM Magazine weekly newsletter, and was added to RadioU TV. To promote the single, the band did many interviews for radio and online publications (RadioU, Effect Radio, 102.9FM The Buzz–Nashville’s Rock station, and more). Read the full article

After blasting through the summer with their visceral single Breaking Waves and their rootsy spin on Audioslave’s classic Show Me How To Live, Nashville rockers Rusty Shipp are back with another new single. The intricate riffs of Detonator are meshed with punkish pop-rock melodies as the new song fully showcases their Dick Dale-meets-Nirvana surf-grunge aesthetic. It’s lifted from their upcoming new album, Liquid Exorcist. Fans of Royal Blood's muscle, QOTSA's riffs and Kurt Cobain's dark-pop melodies should investigate this one on YouTube below now... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T2iy-97hU8 “Detonator is our most ‘surf rock’ song to date, pulling ingredients right out of the 60’s craze like Beach Boys harmonies, Dick Dale’s reverb-drenched guitar sound and a surf organ” explains frontman Russ T. Shipp on the new single. “There’s a grunge undercurrent through the whole song, perhaps accentuated by all the bomb sound effects, and I think our fans will agree that there are few Rusty Shipp songs that solidify our title of “Nautical Rock ’n’ Roll” more than this one. Lyrically, this is the definitive snapshot of our upcoming concept record Liquid Exorcist and really dives in (pun intended) to this forgotten story of sea mine terrorism in the 40’s from a first-person narrative.” Rusty Shipp’s aim is to to take up the torch passed down from rock legends of the past five decades and to hold it up in an age when mainstream music has seemed to give up on rock bands. They combine the pop melodies and surf-rock guitars of The Beach Boys with the hard-hitting alt-rock sounds of Nirvana and Muse to craft songs distinguished by their unconventional riffs and addictive choruses.

After kickstarting their summer with July’s visceral comeback single Breaking Waves (which followed press & radio acclaim for their 2017 debut album Mortal Ghost), Nashville grunge-rockers Rusty Shipp have released their rootsy take on the Audioslave classic Show Me How To Live. Their driving acoustic version of the song foregrounds bluesy riffs and a Deep South stomp alongside gang vocals to create a brand-new dimension to a familiar rock anthem. Fans of Chris Cornell, Alice In Chains and Mark Lanegan will find this right up their street... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6yydNMfpXo “Instead of trying to do a regular rock cover of Audioslave’s Show Me How To Live (one of the few songs I consider to be perfect), we decided to reinvent the song in a completely new way - we knew a normal cover would only fall short when compared to the original,” explains frontman Russ T Shipp. “Following our tradition of making music with a nautical theme, we put the song through the Rusty Shipp filter and it came out on the other side sounding like it was being performed by a naval crew on a submarine, stomping and clapping to the beat like rowdy sailors.” Rusty Shipp likes to call their style ‘nautical rock n' roll’. Their aim is to to take up the torch passed down from rock legends of the past five decades; and to hold it up in an age when mainstream music has seemed to give up on rock bands.
