Pictured Above: Born Ruffians, subtle and refined.
Born Ruffians are a group of troubled youths from Toronto. They sing happy songs with reckless abandon. Their music is part post-punk, part folk, and part happy guy singing about his life.
Where Born Ruffians really succeed is in writing short, concise pop songs with just enough twist to keep you in ’till the end. Check out the guitar solo at 1:45 on Hummingbird and realize that it is the exact moment that it should be.
If there is true joy in the world, Born Ruffians have found it and added bass, drums, and piano.
