Sunshine Spazz is a garage rock power trio with hints of punk and blues from Ocean County, New Jersey. Ryan Rutter (guitar/vocals) and Michael Rutter (bass) are brothers by blood, and that can be felt in the music as they battle for their tones to be heard, whether the fuzzy bass prevails or the reverberating, delayed guitar grabs your sonic sensations. Jamie Lawler (drums) is the glue of the band, as well as the moderator that keeps The Rutter Brothers from turning the musical space into a combat ring. Sunshine Spazz's self-titled debut album released in November of 2023, and allowed them to complete two interstate runs, as well as the opportunity to play Asbury Park's Sea.Hear.Now Festival in September of 2024 alongside acts like Bruce Springsteen, Action Bronson, The Gaslight Anthem, Illiterate Light, and many more. With singles to be released in fall and winter of 2025, and an album release in January 2026, the three boys bonded by rock will be hitting the road much more. Their new album packs a punch that is a beautiful release in dealing with grief. After losing a very dear friend, Sunshine Spazz has transformed this project into a creative coping mechanism and a tribute that reflects the depth of their bond that once was. It goes to show that what seemingly ends, actually continues energetically.
