Rather, Rumblefish is ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² an organic, unique and unexpected ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý experience. "We're such different Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß personalities," begins singer Mike Ryan. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß "You would never expect us to get along in ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ a room to record. But when we write ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² music, it's like a connection within ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ the soul, it goes beyond any conscious ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² thing." The music that these four Los ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Angelenos create is an aural and ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ emotional experience that draws liberally ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² from all over the Rock map, but ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý ultimately is deftly harnessed on Exit Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Highland, Rumblefish's debut CD for ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß Roadrunner Records. Produced by Mudrock ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ (Godsmack, Powerman 5000) and mixed by ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Andy Wallace (Nirvana, The Vines) and ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Jay Baumgardner (Papa Roach, ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Hoobastank) Exit highland is a ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß collection of songs that are as heady as ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ they are heavy. ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý Solidifying their current lineup in Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß early 2002, drummer Possum hooked up ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß first with lead singer Ryan. The two were ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ joined shortly thereafter by guitarist ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² DeCosta - who, like Ryan, was already ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ firmly entrenched in the L.A. scene. ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Bassist Dungis completed the equation - ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß his calm demeanor the perfect ying to ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ the band's musical yang. The band was ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² shunned by everyone initially until they ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý struck a demo deal with Roadrunner and Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß recorded what was to become their first ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß single, the infectiously catchy and ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ intense "In My Head". From there, the ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² band built upon a musical foundation ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ that was simple and unmeditated. "We ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² have a little metal element, a little ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß rock, but not too much of one thing, ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ it's our own sound. We're not trying to ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² reinvent the wheel - We do hard, ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý alternative music but with melodies and Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß a simple, memorable vibe. " explains ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß DeCosta. It's easy to understand their ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ "kitchen sink" mentality given their ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² disparate backgrounds. Ryan, a ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ self-described "troublemaker" once ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² played baseball for the Cleveland ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Indians scout team, but music was his ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ true muse. "I used to be in hardcore ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² bands - just screaming and shit. I felt ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý comfortable in hardcore music and it Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß took me a while to realize I could ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß actually sing. It finally just hit me over ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ the head that I'm a singer" explains ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Ryan. In DeCosta, he's found the ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ perfect musical partner, thanks to his ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² own schizophrenic musical upbringing. ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß "I've been involved in music since I ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ could walk and talk," he reflects. ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý It's that eclectic background that Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß ultimately defined Rumblefish's sound - ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß part unbridled rock, part introspective ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ soul-searching that led to them sharing ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² the stage with such acts as Linkin ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Park, Crazy Town, Ultraspank, Mudvayne ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² and Soulfly. From the barely controlled ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß chaos of "Wasting Time" to the ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ head-banging groove of the soaring "Far," ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² the band is intelligent, funny and ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý politically and personally aware. Yet Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Exit Highland's songs lean decidedly ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß toward the personal and cathartic. "I've ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ spent a lot of time trying to get away ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² from the wrong people, but always ended ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ up in destructive situations," Ryan ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² confesses. "When I write a song, I ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß never know what it's about until I've ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ finished it. The first single, "In My ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² Head", is about "drifting, letting the ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý seasons change my moods, watching Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß things fall apart all the time. It's a ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß beautiful disaster, and I keep walking on ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ that thin line," he explains. "Forget" ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² was written when a relationship was in ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ turmoil. I wrote the song in three ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² minutes as I drove down the street to ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß get away from my then-girlfriend." Not ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ all are as immediate or concrete. The ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² irresistible "Stumble and Fall" could be ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý "about a girl. Or alcohol. Or about Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß anything you think," grins the ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß fast-talking Ryan. "Wait," another winner, ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ is about dealing with ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² obsessive-compulsiveness. "I call that ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ 'wait' the 'hiccup' of the mind. It's ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² about people hesitating, being okay one ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß minute, then you're not, and you can't ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ control the thoughts in your head. It's ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² about being unstable. " ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß While Rumblefish's lyrics may be open to ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß interpretation, the band has ready answers ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ for two of their most-asked questions. ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Yes, Ryan is a big fan of author S.E. ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Hinton, who wrote the seminal teen ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² angst book "Rumblefish." Then, when the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß vocalist saw the film, "I was like, 'if ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ I could be in a movie or make a movie, ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² this would be it!' It has a mystery." ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý And the dark name fits his mindset and Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß the band's music perfectly. As for Exit ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß Highland, it refers to one of Los Angeles' ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ main arteries. "We all take the street ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² to rehearsal and some of us live off ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ it," De Costa notes. "That's what we ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² do every day-Exit Highland." ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ With Exit Highland ready to enter the ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² world's consciousness, Rumblefish are ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý eager to bring their music to the Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß public. "We've all spent hard years ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß trying to prove so much, to realize our ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ potential, and with this record we feel ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² we've gone beyond that," believes Ryan. ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ "While making Exit Highland there was ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² a lot of surreal, peaceful stuff as ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß well as teeth-pulling, but it was an ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ overall amazing experience and we ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² couldn't be happier with how it turned ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý out."
