    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).

lyrics

LYRICS

Verse 1:
Chained to Plato’s Cavern, Chained to shadows of tradition
And Black silhouettes that line the ceiling of the ocean,
more souls are sinking every year, oh something must be wrong up there
Do or die, it’s time we find, the truth or lies, behind the man myth legend
Verse 2:
Grab your shield and trident, get your sea horse armed for war.
Let your fins all fly, and ride with the nautical sea lords
They say these men are more like beasts
Eat you with their war machines
But if there’s any chance of peace we have no choice, leave our world of safety

Chorus:
When I look at Heaven I see silhouettes in black
Tradition tries to demonize what we don’t understand
We need to see them through the love that covers all our skins
Until we’re dining in their homes, these men will be as good as myths and legends
Bridge:
They say the issue’s black and white,
But aren’t we all just different shades of gray
If it makes us black and blue, then we’re going the wrong way.
But we could bring in an age of peace,
Joining both our worlds into one
We could be the heroes that make a new end to the legend

about

Rusty Shipp image

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.
