FROM HOME

Description

Power pop legends The Rubinoos are known for turning their chewing gum into gold with ridiculously catchy tunes like "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend," their cover of "I Think We're Alone Now," and the theme song from Revenge of the Nerds. They were the backing band when Jonathan Richman recorded the alternate version of "Roadrunner" and they opened 56 shows for Elvis Costello on his Armed Forces tour. But most impressive is that The Rubinoos are approaching their 50th anniversary and are writing some of their best songs to date. "From Home" is a homecoming of sorts. It brings together the band's original lineup and was recorded in the same studio where they tracked their debut single for Beserkley Records almost half a century ago. The album was co-written and produced by Chuck Prophet. From the opening strains of "Do You Remember," you’ll realize The Rubinoos never left and are here to take you home to Berkeley.
