About Me

Since clawing their way out of the sludge of Akron at the onset of 2003, Northeast Ohio's Rue have been bringing a rock demolition to the masses. Relentlessly loud and hard hitting, Rue have hammered the U.S. touring and appearing with Weedeater, Bongzilla, Rwake, Dot[.], Graves at Sea, Zoroaster, Keelhaul, Goatwhore, Eyehategod, Mushroomhead, Yob, -16-, Alabama Thunderpussy, Meatjack, High on Fire, Unsane, and numerous others. Rue teamed with independent stalwart Shifty Records to release their self-titled debut CD in late 2003, and participated in a split CD with Portaland's Aldebaran in 2004.In winter of 2007 Rue recorded "A Heart Held by Demons" EP (A limited pressing of vinyl only) which is scheduled to be released in early 2008 on Shifty Records. Rue has also been wrighting new material for a full lenth CD which will be recorded some time in 2008, and then shoped around to labels and plan to release in 2008/2009.With influences ranging from Iron Monkey, Buzzoven, and Celtic Frost, to the Melvins, Acid Bath, and Black Flag, Rue like to lay it down thick and with precision. They plan to defile the road with relentless touring in 2008/2009, so keep an eye out for Rue to blow the windows out of your local bar, tavern, or concert club. You'll hear them coming.
