FINALLY Rusty Shipp has a vinyl record -- and AUTOGRAPHED! Listen to "Dark Side of the Ocean" as it was intended to be heard -- on a 2-sided vinyl.
It's our most ambitious album, written and recorded in two halves specifically for vinyl, with 21:30 minutes on each side. "Side One: Descent" (the sinking soul of a sailor encountering the mysteries of the ocean as he descends to the bottom of the ocean), and "Side Two: Ascent" (the Sea Angels ascend to the surface to see where all these sinking souls are coming from).
Includes unlimited streaming of Dark Side of the Ocean
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about
Today we're releasing a new single which is a first: Rusty Shipp's first bona fide Sea Shanty! This is a traditional sea shanty called "Fish in the Sea." We had a lot of fun sounding like sailors and we hope this short, little maritime tune brings some extra adventure into your day today!
lyrics
Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes
Come all you fishermen listen to me
And I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea, and it's …
Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes
Up jumps a whale, the largest of all, he says,
"You want some wind, boys, well, I'll blow ye a squall," and it's…
Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes

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.

Randy has taken things up several notches AGAIN! He has always had some doom/sludge elements, but this album takes it to a different level! This album is HEAVY! The mix/production are top notch! The lyrics seem deeper & more introspective, like he sees things through others’ eyes & writes from that perspective. You can feel the pain, heartache, & struggle. But, he doesn’t leave you without hope. The lyrics are very relatable & bring a sense of relief knowing others feel the same emotions in life Steven Kennedy
Combining wry, cutting lyrics and whimsical arrangements, the Canadian art-rockers' latest is a tilt-a-whirl of a breakup album. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 14, 2019
