The album Early Years by Rusted Shut is a raw and unapologetic collection of tracks that showcase the band's early sound and influences. The album is a must-listen for fans of noise rock and experimental music.
The album opens with the track "Dead," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The song features heavy, distorted guitars and pounding drums, and the vocals are delivered with a sense of urgency and intensity.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Fukushima," "Drunk with Blood," and "Dope Fiend." Each song is a visceral and unrelenting assault on the senses, with the band's trademark sound of dissonant guitars and chaotic rhythms.
One of the things that makes this album so compelling is the sense of rawness and energy that permeates every track. The band's DIY ethos is evident throughout, with a lo-fi production style that adds to the album's overall grittiness.
Comes in a plain white sleeve with label cut-outs. A photocopied piece of paper with the band name is pasted on the front and a photocopied insert with the song titles, the above info and a photo of a poster from a show. This release is usually referred to as 'Early Years' although this title does not actually appear anywhere on this release.
