Born Ruffians already surprised a lot of people with their EP last year and are prepared to surprise us again with their debut full-length “Red, Yellow & Blue”. Armed with a bunch of songs that sound as neurotic as the Hot Club De Paris and a vocalist that sounds like he ran away from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Born Ruffians are ready to take everyone on with their indiepop.

It all sounds very colorful and energetic but it’s all the twitchy stuff that gets me plain annoyed. Others will love ‘em for it, I just get nervous of the frenetic rhythms and staccato guitars after a couple of songs.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
