Picture this: a subliminal moment.

You're sifting through a stack of recent cd releases. Row after row of this week's pop culture clones, and then you're caught by surprise. The image is familiar. Perhaps a little too familiar. First you smirk then you chuckle to yourself. The image is you. A victim in a cubicle with a look of pure resignation. The title says it all: "Rut-O-Rama". The band name, Wits End. You must hear it immediately. You buy it, you put it on. It's a revelation. From the brief intro, Cubicle Blues straight into the freedom cry of Karoshi (a japanese term for overworked employees) the tunes take you on a singalong journey through the workplace.

A somber subject perhaps? Not with Wits End at the helm. From the happy hour anthem, Better than Nothing to the vacation deficit charge of the title track, Rut-O-Rama, every tune attacks your senses with melody so fine and hooks so intact you may need a permanent vacation. Wits End hits the point home with this clever and fascinating collection of pop tunes recalling the golden age of pop/rock.

Wits End was formed in the Conejo Valley region of Ventura County, CA and consists of songwriters Tom Robinson (vocals & rhythm guitar) Joe Peters (bass), Carl Britton on drums, and lead guitarist & producer Ted Scarlett. Wits End is a mixture of classic guitar pop with first rate songwriting with a vibe all their own. A rarity in this age of disposable pop. Check out their latest release, Rut-O-Rama on White Wagon Records.
