Biography
Ohio's "The Rubes", play a convincing brand of 70s influenced rock, on their debut CD, "Hokum". Recorded in just 2 days in September of '01, this is a remarkably polished disc. Vocalist William Mace, has a great set of pipes for this type of Near- Stoner-Rock music. He comes across as sounding like one of those great bluesy rock singers from 30 years ago, crossed with (I know this is an odd comparison, but that's what I heard) Corey Glover from the defunct "Living Colour". The music itself borrows bits and pieces from the Stoner, Fuzz, and Doom-Metal scenes, but does not really belong to any of them. Hard Rock is about the only truthful label you could pin on these guys. Fans of 70s Blues-Rock, later day Hellacopters, and the non-sludgy end of the Stoner-Rock scene will find much to like here.
