Product Description Produced by Rusty Santos, the New York mixer behind Animal Collective and Panda Bear's albums, Red, Yellow & Blue exemplifies the Ruffians' brand of self-described 'hootin and hollarin'. From start to finish it's a good time, and the band knows it. With songs like the jangly ''Hedonistic Me'' and the sugary sweet ''Foxes Mate for Life'' to the foot stomping ''Badonkadonkey'', the band constantly pushes the boundaries of musical arrangements.

CD ReviewsEnergetic Rock Music with Riffs and Lyrics that Stick M. Nunez | Long Beach, CA USA | 03/24/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I got this album for a song "foxes mate for life" then realized that the whole album was great. The lyrics aren't political or life changing but are cleverly written and have a truth to them. You'll listen to this album and leave with four or five favorites but never really skip ahead on the others. The only draw back is that they didn't put "This Sentence" on the album which is a great song from there EP. The melodies and the way the lead singer/guitar "Luke Lalonde" sing them do add a bit of adolescent twist, but where everyone can still relate and make your foot tap. This band also has great drums "Steven Hamelin" driving foot tapping beats. The Bass "Mitch Derosier" usually backs the melodies and adds a roundness to the rock feel. From soothing songs like "Little Garcon" to Riffs that kill like on the song "Badonkadonkey" this rock album is definetely worth a pick up. My Favorites: 02. Barnacle Goos 05. Little Garcon 06. Badonkadonkey 11. Red Elephant Great Snippet of Lyrics "I'm taking you to put you Underneath my thumb If you get squished,I'll find another you It won't be hard to find another one like you I don't give a damn about When I see you I don't give a damn about The I-owe-yous The disappearing kindness That I show for you I know I won't be sad When you and me are through" " I like it, I like it alot... Matt Bateman | Somewhere else | 09/06/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "I've heard these guys compared to a lot of different bands. Younger fans inevitably pull out the somewhat innacurate Modest Mouse or the more agreeable Vampire Weekend comparison. They certainly have similarities with VW in the musical aspect of things, although the lyrics and attitude are much different. Older fans with a bit of perspective tend to liken these fellows to the Violent Femmes(understandable), the Talking Heads(maybe), and yes, the Flaming Lips(huh?). The only thing I hear when listening to Born Ruffians, other than of course Born Ruffians, are Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. It's right there in the sometimes unapologetic sweetness to the lyrics. It's there in the playful backing vocals. It's noticeable in the rhythyms and the music too. Compare the lyrics of "I Need A Life," for example, to Richman classics like "Our Swingin' Pad" or even "Cappucino Bar." While it's true that Born Ruffians are a bit less sugary and a bit more versatile, I can't help but see them as a contemporary take on the Modern Lovers." Nothing less than perfection. Satpreet Kahlon | Muskegon, MI | 06/16/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Despite the fact that I have been anticipating this album for almost two years, there is nothing about it that has disappointed me. The Born Ruffians have proved to be a truly original force with catchy riffs, toe-tapping beats and an amazing lead singer. Just buy it. Okay?"
