Staring at the Rude Bois (Single) 2007
There are now two great covers of the Ruts Staring at the Rude Boys song out there. The first being off of Dag Nasty's Field Day album, and the second, a single by Gallows. I actually like the Gallows version better than Dag Nasty's, though the latter probably had the least amount to spend on recording time. I also think that adding grime artist Lethal Bizzle into the mix was a nice touch, especially since by modern standards, Grime appears to have largely supplanted Reggae in the UK for some decades now. Nothing beats the original version though.
Anyways with Belly of a Shark on the B side, a big thumbs up and **** stars.
I'll leave you to decide which version is the best.
Gallows
The Ruts
Dag Nasty
