Rubikon returns with their first new album in four years. The Record, out September 16, 2019 on Round Hill Records, brings the band back to the basics, delivering a slew of swampy, hard rocking songs with hook-heavy vocal melodies.  Rubikon is more than a band, it's a brotherhood consisting of five friends that love making music together, and you can hear it shine through with this album.  “There's nothing like locking the band in a room and refusing to come out until we've got  a bunch of tunes to share with the world,” says guitarist Dave Raymond. “We bounced a wide range of ideas off of each other this time around – hard rock, of course, but also more classic-sounding rock, Americana, folk, nothing was off the table – and we are pumped about the album that came out of that process.”
