‘Muddy Evil Pain’ is an exciting final glimpse into 0202 – an album that sees the band in the driver’s seat, brimming with big ideas, clever production and their most assured sound to date. With 0202 the band have fully transformed into an alt-rock/pop powerhouse and self-produced an album that will have people re-evaluating what they thought they knew about The Rubens.
“’Muddy Evil Pain’ is a good indicator as to how we’ve grown as a band sonically. It’s essentially a folk-gospel song blended with heavily distorted pulsing synths, something we never would have considered doing on our first record but now comes naturally. It’s got so much energy, one we can’t wait to play live.” – The Rubens
