Indy In-Tune

Show #047: Dutch Rudder

Since I started the last two shows with a cliche, let me complete the trilogy by starting this one with the old saying, "Youth is wasted on the young."  This week we present Dutch Rudder, a fresh-on-the-scene underground/DIY band that in just a few weeks since forming has already put together quite a bit of original material blending "math rock," hardcore, progressive, jam band, and indie sensibilities into an ambitious sound that mirrors many of the contemporaries in their scene, like Kurt Rambis (Show #036), but with an emphasis of expressing the emotion of a song musically rather than lyrically, and creating elaborate arrangments over showcasing technical wizardry.  Basically, it's good stuff, and though the quality of the demo is pretty rough -- recorded in true DIY fashion in a garage with a single microphone -- it's definitely worth checking out.
