Good but short
Full of very energetic, interesting, distinctive-sounding indie rock music; the songs are pretty standard with regards to arrangement, but are so full of vitality that any shortcomings are pretty minor. Standouts are "This Sentence..." and "7th Son," but all tracks are good. It's an EP, and thus I should probably grade on an EP-normed scale, but I'm giving it 4/5 stars...

Born Ruffians - Born Ruffians
Born Ruffians are good enough for your typical indie rock band, with a catchy enough hook and mostly competent vocals. On their debut eponymous EP, they get to show off melodic hooks ("Piecing It Together") as well as their Pixies influences ("This Sentence Will Ruin/Save Your Life").

Good but short, February 22, 2008
This review is from: Born Ruffians (Audio CD)
Full of very energetic, interesting, distinctive-sounding indie rock music; the songs are pretty standard with regards to arrangement, but are so full of vitality that any shortcomings are pretty minor. Standouts are "This Sentence..." and "7th Son," but all tracks are good. It's an EP, and thus I should probably grade on an EP-normed scale, but I'm giving it 4/5 stars both because it's short and because it's not exactly revolutionary listening. Still, one of the more fun albums I've picked up in a while, and definitely worth the purchase.

Born Ruffians - Born Ruffians, May 5, 2011
This review is from: Born Ruffians (Audio CD)
Born Ruffians are good enough for your typical indie rock band, with a catchy enough hook and mostly competent vocals. On their debut eponymous EP, they get to show off melodic hooks ("Piecing It Together") as well as their Pixies influences ("This Sentence Will Ruin/Save Your Life"). They can simply be pleasant, too, with "I'm One of Those Girls," even if the attempts at vocal gymnastics can seem a little strained. Still, this is only a short EP; it'll be interesting to see what they can do with a full album at their disposal.
