Rust Belt Music

Rust Belt Music

Rust Belt Music (sometimes abbreviated RBM) is a San Francisco-based band that formed in 2001. The band has toured the United States and received numerous positive reviews[who?] in the alternative press (in both North and South America). The original members were John Lindenbaum (vocals, guitar), Chris Cortelyou (drums), Laurin Askew (bass) and Micah Weinberg (keyboards). Askew and Weinberg were eventually replaced with Jason Michael (bass) and Andre Perry (keyboards).

Reviewers initially described RBM as a "pop-based alt-country hybrid"[citation needed] and compared the band to an amalgamation of Neil Young, Wilco, and Radiohead. However, the revolving membership led to a more "synthy"[citation needed] sound, eventually evolving into the band's current iteration in the noisepop genre. Throughout all its incarnations, critics have consistently praised the band's heartfelt yet plainspoken lyrics, noting that the "songs concern themselves with the quiet desperation of the ordinary person,"[citation needed] and calling songwriter Lindenbaum "the Sherwood Anderson of contemporary music."[citation needed]

In addition, Lindenbaum regularly performs solo acoustic sets, and Lindenbaum and Perry also perform together in The Lonelyhearts.
