Our Take

RUSTON KELLY's latest offering, Dirt Emo Vol. 1, is a wild ride from start to finish. The Tennessee native takes us on a whirlwind tour of his unique blend of country twang and emo angst, creating a sound that is equal parts heartbreak and headbang.

From the opening track "Screaming Infidelities," a cover of the beloved Dashboard Confessional classic, Kelly brings his own raw emotion and gravelly vocals to the table, making it clear that he is not here to play nice. This is country music with a punk rock edge, and it is impossible to resist the energy and passion that Kelly exudes in every note.

Tracks like "Helena Beat/Seven Mary Three" and "Teenage Dirtbag" continue the theme of blending country and emo influences, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. Kelly's lyrics are raw and unapologetic, drawing from his own experiences to create a truly authentic listening experience.

Overall, Dirt Emo Vol. 1 is a triumph for RUSTON KELLY, showcasing his incredible talent and versatility as an artist. Fans of both country and emo music will find something to love in this album, and I can't wait to see where Kelly takes us next on this exhilarating musical journey.

About the artist

Ruston Kelly

Ruston Kelly, the alt-country crooner hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, is a jack of all trades in the music industry. With his soulful vocals, melancholic lyrics, and raw emotion, Kelly has quickly established himself as one of the most promising singer-songwriters of his generation. Having cut his teeth in the music scene as a songwriter for the likes of Tim McGraw and Josh Abbott Band, Kelly's transition to the spotlight was a natural one. His debut album, "Dying Star," released in 2018, received critical acclaim from fans and critics alike, with Pitchfork calling it a "masterpiece of heartbreak and redemption." Kelly's music is a delicate balance of heartache and hope, with introspective lyrics that cut straight to the core. His haunting melodies and intricate instrumentation create a sonic landscape that is both intimate and expansive, drawing listeners in with each emotional crescendo.

In a music industry saturated with cookie-cutter artists, Ruston Kelly stands out as a true original. With his unique blend of country twang, rock 'n' roll grit, and singer-songwriter sensibility, Kelly is a force to be reckoned with. So buckle up, music lovers - Ruston Kelly is here to shake things up, one heartbreaking ballad at a time.
