The Rings were a band from Boston, Massachusetts, active in the early 1980s. Originally named "The Rings of Saturn," their lineup included Bob Gifford on bass and vocals, Mark Sutton on guitar and vocals, and Mike Baker on guitar. They were well known in Boston’s underground music scene at iconic venues like The Rat, Spit, Cantones, and Bunratty’s. The Rings released two albums, both in 1981, and built a reputation for their dynamic power pop and tight live performances, with their track "Let Me Go" gaining particular attention for its infectious hooks and energetic sound. Their music captured the spirit of early ’80s Boston rock, and they remain a fondly remembered part of the local scene for those who experienced their shows firsthand.
Based on your list of recent releases, "Volumen 1," "Rhythm Method," and "The Rings," it appears possible that “Rhythm Method” and “Volumen 1” may not be official releases from the original Boston band, as their confirmed discography centers around their 1981 albums—so please note that if these are intended to refer to another group with a similar name, additional context is needed. However, for the original Boston-based The Rings, the description above stands.
