One of the most exciting bands of the era. Their powerful sound of #punk & #dub is unique. Also a powerful force within Britain's Rock Against Racism movement.

The Ruts first two brilliant single releases; ‘In a Rut’ & ‘Babylon’s Burning’.
So tragic that lead singer Malcolm Owen’s lyrics on that B side ‘H Eyes’ became self fulfilling 😢

With anxiety, Babylon’s burning, Babylon’s burning…

Day twelve of my #adventsingles and it’s The Ruts. Remembering Malcolm Owen on what would’ve been his 68th birthday.
