From Deseret News archives:
MormonTimes.com: Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband releases new album today
The release of their new album, �Last Man Standing,� is a testament to their talent and ability to expand musically and challenge listeners to not turn up the volume. It�s not rock, it�s not country and it�s not bluegrass -- it is all three crammed into one.
�Its rootsy because it has the banjo and fiddle, but with kind of a commercial twist to it,� Shupe said, �and a little more rockin' sound.�
With electric guitars, banjos, fiddles and drums, among other instruments, �Last Man Standing� is their best sounding album yet. At least Shupe says it is, and with Tuesday�s release fans will have a chance to find that out for themselves.
I had a chance to speak with Shupe over the phone as he took a few minutes out of his Memorial Day holiday and a family breakfast. While taking a walk down to the market to buy milk, Shupe told me about growing up around music and instruments.
