Here's a review of their latest release:
With broader vision rising from their rekindled groove, Light at the End blends irony, humor, and intensity in framing Gutter's increasingly thoughtful lyrics. "I'm writing and singing about more important things than before, just because I'm a little bit older now," Gutter says. "But the cool thing about what we're doing on songs like 'Dear Mr. President' and 'Happy' is that even when we approach something serious and heavy, there's always some mirth underneath it. That's become a part of our style too.
On paper and on disc, then, Light at the End delivers what fans had dared to expect and new listeners have sorely needed. But more than that, it spreads the news, from Portland's Monument Square to anywhere that music for heart, head and body still matters: Rustic Overtones is back, this time to stay."
Opening the concert will be Tree By Leaf.
