The Rustic Overtones' "Light At The End" is the top CD for four weeks at Bull Moose!
PORTLAND, Maine – Maine and New Hampshire fans just can’t get enough of the Rustic Overtones. Bull Moose announced today that sales of the Rustic Overtones' new CD Light at the End has been at the top of the store's sales charts for 4 weeks, making the CD a record-breaking release for the independent ten store chain.
“Light at the End has outsold White Stripes’ Icky Thump, otherwise the biggest rock album of the summer, and they’ve done it in half the time. White Stripes has been out twice as long,” said Chris Brown from Bull Moose. “Most CDs top the chart for a week or two before another CD comes along to take its place. For any artist, especially a local one, to sustain this level of interest and support is extraordinary. Then again, we are talking about the Rustic Overtones.”
Other summer highlights that Light at the End has surpassed in sales include the soundtracks to Hairspray and High School Musical 2 as well as new releases from Prince, Smashing Pumpkins, and T.I.
The Rustic Overtones, formed in Portland, Maine, is a seven piece band featuring guitarist and lead vocalist Dave Gutter, drummer Tony McNaboe, trombonist Dave Noyes, baritone saxophonist Jason Ward, bassist Jon Roods, alto saxophonist Ryan Zoidis, and Spencer Albee on keyboards and piano.
In 1994, the Rustic Overtones released their debut album, Shish Boom Bam, under the Ripchord Records indie label. That was followed up by Long Division in 1995, My Dirt EP in 1996, and Rooms by the Hour in 1997. In 1999, Rustic Overtones signed with Arista Records and released the Volume Up EP. In 2001, they released Viva Nueva for Tommy Boy records. Rustic Overtones' music is full of energy that is carried by guitar solos and intricate horn work. The style is a mix of pop, funk, jazz, rock, and whatever else might feel good to the musicians at the time of recording. |
