For Fannaticekts' Fannablog
Hamilton, Ont. Originally pitched as a hip-hop remix of psychedelic hardcore outfit Rules' acclaimed album " The Bummer Circus Comes To Truth City", Danny Miles, Rules and Lee Reed's "Endless Bummer" has begun taking on a life of its own.
WHAT IS THE ENDLESS BUMMER?
"Endless Bummer" a collaboration initiated by beat maker, hip-hop producer, and drummer of July Talk, Danny Miles, Anarchist MC Lee Reed formerly of Warsawpack, and psychedelic hardcore band Rules, who are made up by Ben Rispin (The Saint Alvia Cartel, The Video Dead), Chuck Coles (The Creepshow, Organ Thieves), Alex Standen (The Penske File) and Adam Michael (Say Yes, Walk Off The Earth).

The prolific Miles, who recently released his first full length record Beautiful Music, initially had the idea of reimagining Rules' The Bummer Circus Comes To Truth City (Stomp / Cursed Blessings) as a hip-hop record featuring guest MC's on each track. Members of Rules were quick to hop on board and Miles got to work. With a quick demo turnaround, the group approached legendary Canadian rapper Lee Reed to see if he would be interested in laying some vocals. To the groups delight, Reed who is known for his revolutionary politically driven lyrics, agreed to try some ideas out.

The group set up in Halo Studios Hamilton with Rule's producer Roman Marcone. After one session "Endless Bummer" was born. What resulted was a full on audio attack on all fronts.

Endless Bummer quickly found its voice with the release of "God Hates Flags", a grimy, dark look at the present that heed as a warning of the future. A heavy hook laden prophecy made creepy by an accompanying AI spawned lyric video set to Reed's lyrics bedded on Rules' instruments and sounds by Miles.
