Gallows & Lethal: It's Getting Rude!

31/10/2007

Gallows to release re-working of punk classic featuring Lethal Bizzle on guest vocals. ‘Staring At The Rude Bois’ released on CD and 7” vinyl November 19th. Saturday March 17th 2007. Gallows are in full-flight careering through a show at EMO’s in Texas during the SXSW Festival – a performance that sees the Watford punk n’ roll quintet spend the majority of their set off the stage and immersed within the shell-shocked crowd as they scream inches away from our faces, battering us with wave-after-wave of the life-affirming punk rock attack that they are now famous for. Amongst that crowd is Lethal Bizzle, Walthamstow grime-rapper and now fully-fledged Gallows fan. Numbers are exchanged, a collaboration is discussed and before long ‘Staring At The Rude Bois’ is created, an up-dated version of ‘Staring At The Rude Boys’ by seventies punk legends The Ruts.

While staying true to the original, the song has been rearranged and features new lyrics by Frank Carter and Lethal Bizzle to reflect street life in 2007 rather than 1979. The release also features artwork designed by Lethal Bizzle and Frank Carter and is available in the following formats and track-listings.

CD Staring at the Rude Bois Staring at the Rude Bois (Jah Wobble mix) 7” #1 Frank designed artwork A: Staring at the Rude Bois B: Abandon Ship (XFM Session) 7” #2 Bizzle designed artwork A: Staring at the Rude Bois B: In the Belly of a Shark (XFM Session)
