Up until this point, I've only linked them under this site's friends... But I feel they deserve so much more than that. (: So pardon me for a moment while I soak this posting in heaps of praise.
THE RUIN shaking the walls at Java Cafe ~ November 3, 2007.They came together about 2 years ago... Played their first show about a year ago and now have a discography of around 15 (or more) original songs (plus one AWESOME Sublime cover). .....It technically all started in Ryan's apartment with Matt and Ryan on the guitar and drums, respectively. Then Ryan's roommate Kris came and added some vocals.... And finally Ryan's brother-in-law, Andy, took over drums and moved Ryan to guitar and Matt to bass. Got that?
I really don't know how to describe their music... So I won't. I'll just say that they have loads of talent and I think they sound better than what you're hearing on the radio. But I guess I'm biased, right?
...Go HERE for all things The Ruin. And just to insert my disclaimer: Their current recordings really don't serve their live shows any justice. :) .......Oh, and check the same link for show dates.......And then go and pass on the good word! :)
