Ruts D.C.

4 concerts

The Ruts emerged from late-'70s Britain, blending punk rock with reggae and dub. Known for "Babylon's Burning," they fought racism alongside Misty in Roots and supported Rock Against Racism. Their debut album, *The Crack*, reached 16th on UK charts. Singer Malcolm Owen's death in 1980 ended their initial run, but their legacy continued through Ruts D.C. and reunions, including a 2007 benefit with Henry Rollins.
