1/20/2010

Since forming in 2002, the Born Ruffians — Luke LaLonde, Mitch DeRosier and Steve Hamelin — have been taking over bigger and bigger stages without looking back. The group creates an explosion of writhing, jagged pop songs as beautiful and dangerous as shards of broken glass.

The band moved from Midland, Ontario to Toronto in 2004. After a few local performances and their growing online reputation, Born Ruffians were signed to the UK electronic music label Warp Records. Their self-titled debut EP was released in 2006 and recorded by Ryan Mills at Little King Studio (now Sleepytown Sound).

Born Ruffians have received extensive airplay on CBC Radio 3 with their debut single, “This Sentence Will Ruin/Save Your Life,” as well as a cover of Grizzly Bear’s single “Knife” which the band recorded live on KEXP. In 2007, the band released the single “Hummingbird,” which was included on their first album Red, Yellow & Blue.
