Photo by Drew Reynolds And now three Help-us-Kevin-Costner-you're-o ur-only-hope reasons to put the top down on the convertible and roll on over to Lincoln Hall tonight... 1. Chicago's Shawn Rosenblatt, better known as the psychedelic-tinged indie pop act Netherfriends , returns to his hometown tonight during a break in his ultra-ambitious 50 Songs in 50 States tour. By the way, Shawn's still looking to firm up dates for his Midwest/Northwest run of the tour in August. But back to tonight's show, everyone who's been in Lincoln Hall knows that [...]
Even if you haven't gone out of your way to listen to Born Ruffians before, you probably heard their most famous hit, 'Hummingbird', on an Orange advert a few years ago. It's that song that begins similarly to The Futureheads' 'Hounds Of Love', i.e. with cuckoo-like vowel sounds popping around in a chirpy fashion (Youtube it – you'll know it when you hear it).That indie-pop nugget came from Born Ruffians' debut album, Red, Yellow & Blue , which consisted mainly of average indie songs that fizzed with happiness. Say It still holds on to that buzzy vibe, but [...]
This is the sumer mixtape for this year. It's all nice time indie music, I stripped out the more "hardcore" moments of the mixtape due to bandwidth issues (yay for bandwidth crushing my creative freedom). It's all been realeased in 2010, so you can feel like the coolest kid on the block. It starts off with the faster stuff, then we go poppy with Corinne Bailey Rae and Jack Johnson, a bit funky with Breakbot and finally, we slow it down to "very slow" with Beach House and She & Him. I hope you like it! [...]
Maybe the idea behind Say It , the second record from Canadian three piece Born Ruffians seeks to return to back to basics guitar, bass, and drums, with a little dose of manic vocals from front man Luke Lalonde. While the idea may be admirable, the album amounts to nothing more than an array of scattered jam fills, wandering guitar hooks and what appears to be first take vocals - that shouldn't have gotten further than the band's rehearsal rooms after a bad hangover. If live music is for true expression, [...]
Vous avez lu Hartzine ces dernières semaines ? Et noté qu'on avait un petit coup de cœur pour le nouvel album de nos amis Canadiens Born Ruffians ? Non ? Pour l'occasion, Thibault avait sorti sa plus belle plume pour leur chronique : "Carénée d'une science du rythme iconoclaste et jubilatoire, valdinguant entre la basse de Mitch Derosier et les fûts de Steve Hamelin, la verve narrative de Lalonde, couplée à sa guitare à l'épilepsie raisonnée, provoque ce que l'on attendait plus de ce printemps aux allures d'hiver tempéré : [...]
Frank Yang "Thanks for coming out on such short notice." It was hard to tell if Win Butler was smirking when he said this, midway through the first night of Arcade Fire's surprise two-night stand at the Music Hall in Toronto this past Friday night. After all, they had given the city just over 48 hours notice that these performances would be happening - though they did offer teasers throughout the week - prompting a mad scramble of canceled plans and fake sick days so that fans could line up for the one-per-person admission [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Phoenix, Two Door Cinema Club "Born Ruffians - Oh Man" What's so good? The day I first listened to new album "Say It" by Born Ruffians was also the first day that I saw them live. Believe it or not, the two events were completely unrelated. It just so happened that Indie Shuffle contributor Taylor Fife had dragged me out to see the last-ever performance by Tempo [...]

ARTIST: Born Ruffians - [Album] with free mp3 download for 'Sole Brother' from Say It by Born Ruffians DATE: 06-13-10 REVIEW BY: Bill Adams There are moments when one has to wonder what the mitigating factor might have been that prompted a band to spontaneously re-think its' sound from the ground up, and listening to Born Ruffians' sophomore effort, Say It , is one of them.

Jason Creps The first thing you notice about The New Pornographers' latest album Together is the unison electric guitar and cello line that opens the first track, "Moves". The second thing you notice is that you probably didn't notice it at all. The band who first burst onto the scene at the turn of the century with the giddily live wire Mass Romantic transformed themselves from power-pop to orch-pop over the course of their five albums in the past decade that the [...]

Aucun concert ne peut prétendre changer la face du monde. Mais, aussi futile que cela puisse paraître, certains peuvent faire évoluer subrepticement l'ap préhension que l'on a d'un disque. Et c'est déjà pas mal. Il en va ainsi pour les Canadiens de Born Ruffians , venus présenter, lors d'une soirée BimBamBoum organisée par nos confrères (et grand frères) de Magic , le vendredi 21 mai dernier, leur second album Say It . Un regret taraude ma timide conscience professionnelle, le fait de ne pas avoir eu le temps d'écrire instantanément la chronique d'un disque qui avait jusque-là un mal presque insurmontable à [...]

Born Ruffians - Say It Release date: June 1, 2010 [ amazon.com ] Artist Jeremy Olson created this. In fact he has a whole series of creepo facial-reconfiguration paintings. Guess which city he lives in and to what degree he believes to have special insight into everything.
