On this date in 1979, The Ruts released their debut single, "In A Rut". It was backed by "H-Eyes". The two tracks appeared on their second album, Grin & Bear It which was a compilation of single tracks and live performances that had not been captured on their debut, The Crack. The London reggae-influenced punk band released two albums before the heroin overdose death of lead singer Malcolm Owen on July 14, 1980. The renamed themselves Ruts D.C. and lasted until 1983.

We're slackers...
We don't update The P5 every day like we used to. So when we slack off, just use the search box up there on the right. Yeah, the red box, that's it. Search The P5 Archives. You'll be glad you did.
