about

Nashville’s Rusty Shipp are taking up the torch passed down from rock legends of the past five decades, to hold it up in an age when mainstream music has seemed to give up on rock bands. Tirelessly thinking and working like it’s a divine mission, the band’s goal is to make people feel inspired and empowered by creating the catchiest, most creative rock music on Planet Earth. The result of this zeal is their new grunge-surf-pop song Breaking Waves which keeps with the group’s nautical theme and was “meticulously crafted to get stuck in a human being’s brain,” says frontman Russ T. Shipp. “The song sounds like Nirvana trying to play a Beach Boys song right after hearing Dark Side Of The Moon.”

The single, which describes the war between technology and nature, is accompanied by a music video shot on a submarine and is the first glimpse into their forthcoming record Liquid Exorcist, a concept album about sea mine terrorism.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Breakers on the sea, advancing steadily
Little by little taking territory
The armies will erode till Pangaea’s covered over
And the Earth is once again formless and void

Chorus:
Breaking waves crashing on your accolades
Break you down, water torture down the drain
One by one till your soul is what remains
Break you out, breaking from the breaking waves

Post-chorus:
Break it down and wash it away
Breaking from the breaking waves

Verse 2:
Simple H2O crushing your machines
Ships and submarines breaking down to smithereens
The breakers won’t desist clinging to your wrist like exorcists
Feeling for the pulse of a human being

about

Rusty Shipp Nashville, Tennessee

Named after the frontman Russ T. Shipp, the band has created a sound known as Nautical Rock ‘n’ Roll. Characterized by its dark, underwater atmosphere, haunting vocals, and unconventional riffs, the music is a perfect fusion of grunge and surf rock, though it is most memorable for the Beatlesque hooks in every single song.
