"XXRUB is a rock band ready to explode in all directions. As passionate admirers of various musical genres, they've taken on various sounds with their latest album. "A Never Ending Walk", XXRUB's latest offering due out in early summer of 2009, paints with all the colors of rock and soul. Songs range from a Brian Eno-inspired ambient tune to a Morrocan feel, jazz-infused groove, from a Black Sabbath/Slipknot hard rocker to a bluesy/pop number, from reggae dub/ska quirkiness to a gospel intro with an eighties groove, a Beatlesque tribute, and definitely a Bo Didley riff like no other. The title track is basically a "dream" put into a song. Some songs have some very serious undertones, yet XXRUB never takes itself too seriously! Wide ranging are their rock influences, from icons like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Clash, Hendrix, Bob Marley, U2, and Bo Diddley...God rest his soul. All are remarkably ever present in this project. Song topics include: the possible apocalyptic year of 2012, love on the brink of salvation, suicide, anti-suicide, the past's innocence, philosophy/theology/history, a daydreaming high schooler, sin city, more love on the brink, and of course, man's incapacity to learn his lessons."
