Order "The Dash" YEAR END SALE - $10 FREE SHIPPING
Available on both 150 gram, colored vinyl and Digipak CD. All orders include immediate digital download in wav, mp3, or flac format.
The Dash is R. Mutt's 5th full length recording of original music. The record marks the first studio appearance of both Dave Smolarek on guitar and Matt Schreier on drums. The band's primary song writers, Ron Thornton and Jim Dier, return with help from Matt and Dave as well as new producer, Kevin Blackwell. Lending lyrical help were Jamie Kane and Michael Stodola.
The record has a strong sound due to both the production direction from Kevin but also the expert mixing done by Chet Lyster (The Eels, The Jayhawks, Lucinda Williams.) Trevor Sadler of Mastermind Productions handled the vinyl and digital mastering.

Past Releases and Free Streams
With a playing career started in 1988 producing five full-length releases, an EP, and a more than a few bootleg live shows, we have built up a fairly large collection of music. When asked about what we should have on our website for people to listen to it just seemed to make sense to share it all. There are a load of things up here that we wish we could have spent a few more hours on and some lyrics that today, seem a little silly, but hey, it all really happened and we found new friends and fans at every stop. With that, here is just about everything that we have.(2011) Leash on Life <more info> <iTunes>
