ALPHEUS BRINGS FIRE WITH NEW SINGLE ‘REAL RUDY’, OUT ON AN EXCLUSIVE 7-INCH VINYL

Alpheus’ incredible new single, ‘Real Rudy’ has been released on a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl courtesy of Escape Hatch Records. This release is a must-have for any collection, not just for the fantastic A-side but also for the sweet surprise on the B-side.

‘Real Rudy’ is a ska anthem produced by the legendary Roberto Sánchez. This authentically crafted track features Alpheus paying tribute to ‘Rudies’, the original Rude Boys and Rude Girls who made ska a global phenomenon. Alpheus takes his time here, truly celebrating the heart and soul of this vibrant subculture.

On the flip side, Smoke & Mirrors Soundsystem keeps the energy high with ‘Eight Hours a Day.’ With its doo-wop influences, this catchy track is a playful reminder about our daily grind, delivered with a healthy dose of ska spirit.

Both ‘Real Rudy’ and ‘Eight Hours a Day’ are fantastic additions to any ska collection. Originally from Alpheus’ new album ‘Unify’, ‘Real Rudy’ was such a hit with fans that Escape Hatch Records knew they had to release it as a 7-inch single.

To make this release even more special, its 500-copy limited edition is in an opaque red vinyl with meticulously designed artwork covers for both songs. These tracks make for an unbeatable combo, transporting us to the heart of ska’s golden era.
