[MiddleClassRut_general4_Steve Gullick]
Sacramento-based rock duo, Middle Class Rut, are kicking off a run of dates supporting AWOLNATION! Beginning November 2nd, MC Rut will make their way across the country, from coast to coast and through the Midwest, with stops at Los Angeles' Music Box and New York City's Webster Hall along the way. Check out a teaser for the tour HERE<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSM3vADBzOE>!

Middle Class Rut are touring in support of their debut album, No Name No Color, which spawned the smash radio hit "New Low" reaching No. 5 at Alternative Radio. Their current single, "Busy Bein' Born" has been climbing the charts and is now officially in the Top 25 at radio. Having been named "2011 Artist to Watch" by MTV and scoring a coveted spot in USA Today's "On the Verge" feature<http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2011-03-19-otv-middleclassrut_N.htm>, Middle Class Rut are one of the most promising acts of the year. This summer they completed a European arena tour with Linkin Park and a month long trek with the Vans Warped Tour. The guys also recently wrapped up a headlining tour which included performances in KROQ's Epicenter, KFMA's Fall Ball, and a show at the famed Emo's in Austin.

In other news, beginning November 8th, you can purchase Middle Class Rut's "Hurricane" via all digital service providers. It features MC Rut's resplendent cover of the Bob Dylan classic "Hurricane," as well as an exclusive live version of "New Low" (from No Name No Color) and "Dead Set" (from 25 Years EP), recorded live in the UK at Zane Lowe's Maida Vale session and at XFM Studios, respectively.

MC Rut has been eagerly embraced by rock fans and the press for their stunning debut, which artfully blurs the line between heavy and melodic with raw, energized rock and roll.  This band is no overnight sensation. The duo, Zack Lopez (vocals, guitar) and Sean Stockham (drums), have been playing together since they were teenagers. The pair records every song they write together almost immediately upon coming up with the idea in their rehearsal space, capturing the instantaneous spirit of a track while still in the moment. They've toured with a range of artists, including Linkin Park, Social Distortion, Alice in Chains, Them Crooked Vultures, The Bronx and ...Trail Of Dead and their track "Lifelong Dayshift" is featured on the exclusive GameStop release of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack.
