‘Counterculture?’ follows on from 2016’s brilliant and provocative ‘Music Must Destroy’, and according to Punktuation’s Ruth Rae the mighty Ruts DC have returned with a bang!
“It’s safe to say that ‘Counterculture?‘ surpasses all expectations,” Ruth says in her LP review. “There is something for everyone on this superb album. A musical journey through counterculture from the 1960s to the present, and into the future. Ruts DC have produced yet another thought-provoking, melodic masterpiece.” Read Ruth’s full review HERE.
