Born Ruffians

Born Ruffians

Jittery, skeletal indie rock defined by interlocking guitars and Luke Lalonde's distinctive high-register yelps. Raw, infectious, and perpetually in motion.

It's like a caffeinated version of Paul Simon's rhythms played by a garage band in a basement.

A nervous, high-energy burst of creativity that feels both playful and deeply anxious.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the sudden rhythmic shift in Hedonistic Me where the vocals and drums lock into a frantic gallop
the skeletal opening of Piecing It Together that slowly builds into a layered choral-style climax
the way 7th Son ends the EP with a short, sharp burst of garage-rock adrenaline
