Rusty Shipp are releasing new music on January 27th, their first new song since the album “Liquid Exorcist.” The new song is called “Bottom of the Barrel” and is the first single from the upcoming album “Dark Side of the Ocean.”
“Bottom of the Barrel” continues the band’s nautical rock theme with lyrics that follow the singer as he sinks to the bottom of the ocean where his body and mind separate. In the blackness of the abyss, he is surprised to encounter the light of the bioluminescence of the ocean’s bottom dwellers, a reminder that light and companionship exist even in the darkest parts of the world. The music revolves around progressive grunge riffs in the style of Muse and Royal Blood, intertwined with the catchy Beatlesque melodies for which the band gained notoriety. The single will be followed by a music video.
