About this product
Beauty's Pride is a significant evolution in Born Ruffians' creativity & artistry, both in terms of the writing and as the first album written in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Maddy Wilde who joined the band in 2022. Born Ruffians are a band that has generally favored a sound that is lo-fi and contained. But on Beauty's Pride, they're doing the opposite - it's a richer, bigger, full spectrum sound with lyrical themes that evoke a more universal storytelling spirit. While much of the trend in guitar/indie rock has been to favor more 1960s & 70s-inspired lo-fi recordings, here the band set out to create a record that sounds like it was made in 2025 it's a maximalist indie rock album that embraces hi-fi production techniques. It's filled with fear and optimism (and still plenty of anxiety as is Luke Lalonde's charm), but in an engaging, unpretentious way, something which, again, reflects the year it was made, the cultural feelings of this moment, and the confidence of a band that has earned it's stripes.

RUFF, the newest album from Born Ruffians, is an exploration into self and aesthetics that you will want to tag along for. It's a collection of scrubbed raw anthems that are defiantly optimistic, imaginatively arranged and performed with a sense of bloodlust. In contrast to previous records from this Canada-based quartet, RUFF is simultaneously a return to form and a departure from convention. It is at once a culmination and a disassembly of the band's history and dynamics. RUFF took shape from a singular focus on the work itself, and exploration into the relation of candor, immediacy and art. InchWe had one overarching goal this time out to make the album we wanted to make. We took nothing else into consideration,Inch says bassist Mitch Derosier. Over four albums, Born Ruffians have developed a signature aesthetic that encompasses tightly wound, trapezoidal songs frothing over with hooks and wryly cathartic lyrics. The group has garnered favorable comparisons to such quirky pop infiltrators as the Talking Heads, The Pixies and The Strokes. Onstage, the band is arousing and assaulting, coming off somewhere between a riot and a soul revue. Born Ruffians are Luke Lalonde (guitar/vocals), Mitch Derosier (bass), Andy Lloyd (guitar/keyboard) and Adam Hindle (drums). RUFF was written in ebbs and flows the origin of some tracks stretch back to 2013 and others came together in a matter of days, or in a single band practice. Jeff McMurrich (Jennifer Castle, The Constantines, Fucked Up) recorded RUFF in just three weeks in Toronto. The band's trusted friend Rusty Santos (Animal Collective, Eric Copeland, Owen Pallett) - who produced their acclaimed album, Red, Yellow & Blue, and it's follow up, Say It - mixed RUFF in New York. RUFF stands as a poignant marriage of form, content and process that is without a doubt Born Ruffians' most focused and mature work
