A Never Ending Walk (release date August 8, 2009) "XXRUB is a massive volcano ready to explode in all directions. They write songs as colossal as Mount Everest and as deep as the Grand Canyon. The songs are captivating, enduring, and timeless. As passionate admirers of diverse musical genres, they've taken on stadium-sized sounds with their latest album. "A Never Ending Walk", XXRUB's latest offering due out in the summer of 2009, paints with all the colors of rock and soul. Songs range from a Brian Eno-inspired ambient tune (The Twilight Prelude) to a Morrocan-feel, jazz-infused groove (When The World Was Flat), from a Black Sabbath/AC?DC hard rocker (Maybe) to a bluesy/pop number (Let Me Take You), from reggae dub/ska quirkiness (The Girl Who Sat Next To Me) to a gospel intro with an eighties groove (Love Is Raining), a Beatlesque tribute (Tonight?), and definitely a Bo Didley riff like no other (Daydreamer). The title track is basically a "dream" put into a song. Some songs have some very serious undertones, yet XXRUB never takes itself too seriously. Wide ranging are their rock influences, from icons like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Clash, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, U2, and Bo Diddley...God rest his soul. All are remarkably ever present in this project. Song topics include: the possible apocalyptic year of 2012, love on the brink of salvation, suicide, anti-suicide, the past's innocence, philosophy, theology, history, a daydreaming high school emo-girl, sin city, more love on the brink, and of course, man's incapacity to learn his lessons."
