Lifting their name from a Wonderstuff song because it "suggested nothing... and could be the name of a really big band," Rubyhorse is rock in its most genuine form, infused with a zest for life and a message of hope."Music is a very important part of the Irish culture," says Owen. "Historically it has been both a commentary on life and a means of rising above it's hardships. That's what we try to get across in our music. Life can be hard, but it’s important for any form of art to find the beauty in it. Onstage, we try to impart a feeling of being uplifted... our live show is all about moving the listener, giving them an escape. But the songs are all based in reality, and looking at everyday experiences from different perspectives. That’s what our music is about."
The hit single, "Sparkle." peaked at #17 in the American radio charts, it's chiming guitars and a rhapsodic chorus propel what Decky has called "a song about digging yourself out of one hole, and into another," it was originally written as an ode to the persistence and dedication of the band members during one of their tougher times. "Regardless of how bad you think things are," he says, "there’s always a reason to see the day out."
"Punchdrunk," Rubyhorse’s anthem, comes with a resonant, humbling endorsement. The Floydian ballad, a tapestry of acoustic guitar, elegant strings and piano, features a gorgeous, simply stated slide part courtesy of the late George Harrison. Joe speaks of this with reverence: "When we had finished recording the song, we listened to it and it just felt there was something missing… some part. We tried various instruments and it just wasn’t right. We sent him (Harrison) a copy of the song through a mutual friend and we got a call back to say that he loved the song and that he’d love to play on it, so we sent the reels over to a studio in England and he put his part down. We were mixing in Miami when we received the tapes and it just blew us all away. He finished off the song. It was just a beautiful, beautiful part. It was the biggest honor that we’ve ever received and probably will ever receive."
