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.

LYRICS:
Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're all just ordinary men
Me
And you (you, you, you)
God only knows
It's not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
The general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved side to side
Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end we're spinning round 'n round (round, round, round)
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
"Listen son", said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
[Talking: No one’s ever been to the surface, it’s just too dangerous
Last time any angel ever tried that it just brought war and violence.
Those men are just born evil beasts.
You ever seen one? They say they ride huge monsters and have hands that shoot fire and kill anything in sight.
Listen, don’t even think about it. They’re fine up there and we’re fine down here minding our own business, just like it’s always been.]
Written by George Roger Waters & Richard William Wright
Originally performed by Pink Floyd

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
