 | | The Ruts plunged into the organization very early on in their career, playing benefit shows and festivals, and it was at one such event that the group were introduced to the south London reggae band Misty in Roots. |
 | | The single barely hinted at what was to come and when the group performed a radio session for Radio One DJ John Peel a few months later, the song didn't even appear in their set. |
 | | A headlining tour was followed by the quartet joining Jamaican ska legend Laurel Aitken for his first new U.K. single in years, "Rudi Got Married." The Ruts themselves re-entered the Top 25 in April 1980 with "Staring at the Rude Boys," their own expedition into Two Tone territory, albeit on a lyrical, not musical, journey. |
