This week is a big week for Rush some nerds fans as Friday’s date is December 21, 2112… or “December 21/12”, as they say. And just in time for the celebration, Mercury Records has reissued Rush’s classic 1976 album. The reissue is available in two packages: a Deluxe Edition, with CD + Audio Blu-Ray or CD + Audio DVD formats...

Long overdue, but it has been done. Rush will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. It never seemed very important to the trio on whether or not this day would come. This rings loud in what is one epic response from Geddy Lee: “It’s a terrific honor and we’ll show up smiling… It made...

For many fans, this is a story of “too little, too late”, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has finally taken a step to putting Rush and Deep Purple into the Hall. The two bands, plus Public Enemy and N.W.A. are first time ballots, along with 11 other groups returning once again for consideration. Fans of Rush and...

Rush is kicking off their North America tour today in Manchester, NH. The tour is in support of Clockwork Angels, the group’s 20th studio album, released in June. The 33-date tour covering the U.S. and Canada will run through December, and following a five month break, the trio hits the road once again to tour across Europe. Clockwork Angels debuted...

Alfred Music Publishing has just published Rush: Clockwork Angels for both bass and guitar, as part of their Authentic Bass TAB series. The 108 page book includes the tab for all of Geddy Lee’s bass lines from the Clockwork Angels – the album released in June of this year, as well as complete lyrics and full color artwork (view sample...

Hot on the heels of the release of Clockwork Angels, Rush has extended their tour schedule into 2013 with the announcement of some European tour dates. The new album was the band’s first studio effort in five years, and entered the SoundScan/Billboard 200 chart at #2, which matched their highest chart debut in the trio’s 38 year history. The album...

Rush’s new label, Road Runner Records, recently interviewed bassist Geddy Lee to coincide with the trio’s latest album, Clockwork Angels. Geddy shares the story behind the album, his thoughts on the band’s Time Machine tour, writing music and breaking through as a musician. I was surprised to hear Geddy share that he had some real breakthroughs as a musician on...

Hot on the heels of the release of Clockwork Angels, Rush’s 20th studio album, comes the first glimpse at the album’s companion novel, Clockwork Angels: The Novel. Author Kevin J. Anderson, who is collaborating with Rush drummer Neil Peart, posted news on his blog that a sneak peek booklet for the book has been released as a free download. The...

We first reported Rush’s announcement for Clockwork Angels a little over two years ago. At that time, the band released two songs to radio stations and as digital downloads before hitting the road for their “Time Machine” tour in 2010 and 2011, where they performed both tunes live each night. The trio completed the album after the tour was completed....

The guys from Rush are so cool. In addition to their amazing musicianship, they’re really funny. And pretty good actors. This of course comes from the band’s Time Machine 2011 – Live in Cleveland DVD. We may be partial, but we like Geddy Lee’s character best.

Man, this has been a long time coming. Rush’s highly anticpated 20th studio album, Clockwork Angels will be released on June 12th (available for pre-order on CD and vinyl). The trio has just announced their tour dates in support of the new album, with stops in 33 cities in the U.S. and Canada, beginning in September. Clockwork Angels is the...

Do you ever listen to music from your early years and get transformed back to that time? This video does that for me, and I’m betting it does for a lot of No Treble readers. This is Rush performing the medley of “By-Tor & the Snow Dog”, “In the End”, “In the Mood” and “2112 Finale”. This is of course...
