My favorite Northwest bands -- 7. Ruston Mire


Fronted by Brian Naubert (Tubetop) and including at various times members from many older Seattle bands, Ruston Mire is a combo of straight-ahead pop, new wave, and indie.
Strong songwriting and a wonderful sense of the absurd. I always felt, with the right promotion, Ruston Mire could've had a wide appeal, but alas, like many local bands, it wasn't in the stars.
