Well, hell, we’re guessing you’ve got a little extra time on your hands these days and, fortunately for you, the Ruffians are veritably bubbling over with new music at the moment. The spiky, psych-y SQUEEZE arrives on Oct. 2, 2020, a mere six months after the release last April of the bold ‘n’ brassy JUICE on Yep Roc Records. Rumour even has it there might be some more poised power-pop pulp to come somewhere soon down the line – catch a developing theme here? – but you didn’t hear that from me. Let’s focus on the present for now. Or at least distract ourselves from the ugly realities of the present with another wicked Born Ruffians record, the band’s seventh since guitarist/vocalist Luke Lalonde, bassist Mitch Derosier and drummer Steve Hamelin emerged as a fully formed trio of rock ‘n’ roll oddballs from a high school in Midland, Ontario, 16 years ago.
