The Ruts get the duo's treatment

Gallows have teamed up with Lethal Bizzle to release a cover of The Ruts' ’Staring At The Rudebois’ on November 19.

The two teamed up earlier this year to record the track after meeting at South By Southwest festival in Austin in March.

At the time, Gallows' guitarist Laurent Barnard told NME.COM: “Frank [Carter]’s not doing any kind of rapping or MCing. Then Lethal comes in and laid down his stuff - it sounded so good. I’ve never heard this kind of MCing on a proper punk track.”

The track will be released on CD and two 7” versions, which will each feature artwork specially designed by Bizzle and Gallows' Frank Carter.

Gallows are on tour, and and are set to call at:

Portsmouth Guildhall (November 19)
Birmingham Academy (21)
Cardiff Arena (22)
Newcastle Academy (23)
Glasgow Academy (24)
Leeds University (25)
Manchester Apollo (27)
London Brixton Academy (28)
