SPILL NEWS: BORN RUFFIANS SET TO RELEASE RUFF DELUXE EDITION
ALSO RELEASING XTRA RUFF EP
On April 22, Born Ruffians will release a digital-only deluxe edition of RUFF and XTRA RUFF EP. Featuring four previously unreleased bonus tracks not featured on the original album, the deluxe edition and XTRA RUFF EP are now available for pre-order – deluxe or EP – with instant download of βYou Loser.β
Recorded during the RUFF sessions in Toronto, the bouncy, cathartic “You Loser” and the sombre “I Need Yaβ were included on a hidden bonus 7-inch in the gatefold of the vinyl-only deluxe edition released in October 2015. Both tracks are included on the digital deluxe edition and XTRA RUFF EP. Also featured are “It Could Be So,” a song featuring Luke Lalonde ‘s signature guitar-picking and beautifully rhythmic lyrics and melody. An alternate version of RUFF‘s βShade To Shadeβ closes out the EP.
The bandβs fourth album, RUFF, was recorded in just three weeks in Toronto by Jeff McMurrich (Jennifer Castle, The Constantines, Fucked Up ) and mixed in New York by Rusty Santos ( Animal Collective, Eric Copeland, Owen Pallett ).
Born Ruffians are also releasing a weekly web series, titled “B-ROLL,” with footage of their travels, compiled and edited by the band. Check out “You Loser” and “B-ROLL” below.
