Middle Class Rut

The Sacramento duo Middle Class Rut, also known as MC Rut, are currently putting the finishing touches on their highly anticipated new album, Pick Up Your Head, which will be released on May 21st via Bright Antenna Records. It was mixed by Grammy winning producer Dave Sardy (Johnny Cash, LCD Soundsystem, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds). "Aunt Betty" is the lead single from the band's second album

Middle Class Rut consists of friends vocalist/guitarist Zack Lopez and vocalist/drummer Sean Stockham. Formedin December 2006, they signed to the Bright Antenna label in 2008 and released two EPs. In 2010, MC Rut released their first full-length debut, No Name No Color. This album featured the hit single "New Low," which shot to No. 5 at Alternative Radio.

This new album, Pick Up Your Head, has the band raising the bar. Lead singer, Lopez says that it is "an evolution of a lot of ideas we had as the writing for No Name No Color was winding down. I think we exhausted what we could do in the confines of just drums/guitars/vocals. Once we embraced the idea that anything goes, the songs poured out."
