Philly psychedelic rockers Ruby the Hatchet have unleashed their new video single titled “Thruster,” which you can check out below. The tune serves as the first single to be released from their forthcoming album dubbed ‘Fear Is a Cruel Master,’ which is set to drop on October 21st, 2022 (pre-order).
“The first single, ‘Thruster’, is an up-tempo, standout song that our drummer Owen brought to the table,” singer Jillian Taylor states. “Between the band fleshing it out, and Owen and myself doing double duty with vocal writing, ‘Thruster’ was a no-brainer for the first preview of our new album. Its gallop beat and menacing guitar riff immediately had me envisioning something ominous.”
Jillian adds, “We all love old campy horror and sci-fi, and have come to picture our music videos as fun short films that should be representative, but not taken too seriously. After re-watching a lot of Grindhouse, creating a storyboard for those visions, and assembling the perfect crew to pull it off (Hayden Hall, Ben Mazz, Don Vincent Ortega, and some of our most badass motorcycle riding friends), all of this came to life (and, as you’ll see, death) in a super fun and uniquely Ruby way.”
