Ronson loves The Rumble Strips - signs band to his new label
Posted:
Smug-faced chart sensation Mark Ronson - oh come on, he always looks well pleased with himself - has signed The Rumble Strips to his new Allido Records label, which has been formed alongside Universal Records.
Ronson will handle production duties on the jig-happy foursome's next LP, the follow-up to 2007's decent Girls And Weather debut. Expect a release in the spring of next year.
Says Ronson of the band, pictured:
"I came across The Rumble Strips through their cover of 'Back to Black', and Amy [Winehouse] and I agreed it was kind of better than our own. I picked up their album and fell in love with it. Then I decided I wanted to sign them to my label and work on their next album. It was really as straight forward as that. We're all very excited about this."

I hate Mark Ronson

could this be
the death of the rumble strips?
they write mighty fine songs regardless, but i wonder what having ronson on board is going to do to them though. -
appart from a massively increased media profile
and (probably) guaranteed playlist space?
Nothing.

it kills my soul
hey hey hey
-
Am I alone in finding this truly hilarious?
I mean, the most BRASS-heavy indie band of recent times...
Stay off the BRASS mark, there are other musical instruments you know?
-
I presume he signed them
cos he seems to have a stiffy over the lead singer Charlie. I'm sure i saw him on the telly doing 'Back To Black' live at a festival....
In truth, it seems like a relatively logical relationship and they might sell some records. Not that it puts me either up or down. -
I suppose you could say that this is a bit of a "Rumble-low".........
tumbleweed etc etc......

Mark Ronson
was engaged to Rashida Jones at one point.
That was a criminal injustice.
-
Their cover of 'Boys Are Back In Town' is waaay better
seriously, it's on the myspace. Well good.

you're gonna have a hard time
finding anyone under 30 who gets that ma friend..

A 'get out of jail' card for Dexys Midnight Rumble Strips
that's prolonged their career for at least another album.
-
This is a real shame...
I *liked* their first LP, but that's all over now...
-
More Trumpets
On the next album I guess.
-
I enjoyed it
I think 25+ and you're safe

Hey! The Strips knock spots off Dexys!
The Strips publicity machine let them down badly with their great but belated debut album "Girls and Weather". It deserved to have sold far more. Ronson's input and profile could help in this respect for their next album. The most under rated, and at the same time, the most exciting band the UK at present.
