Red, Yellow & Blue

Born Ruffians

Jittery, staccato guitars and high-register yelps define this debut. It captures a specific brand of mid-2000s nervous energy that feels both raw and melodic.

It sounds like a very talented band having a minor panic attack in a garage.

A high-strung, melodic collision of youthful exuberance and nervous uncertainty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden rhythmic shift in 'Barnacle Goose' where the guitar and drums lock into a frantic, driving gallop.
The way 'Little Garçon' builds from a sparse, lonely vocal into a layered, shouting anthem of youthful uncertainty.
The closing minutes of 'Red Elephant' where the album's nervous energy finally dissolves into a sprawling, melodic release.
