ABOUT

Juno-nominated indie rock band Born Ruffians formed in Midland, Ontario in 2006. Since then, they’ve released 8 full length albums and 3 EPs on a number of acclaimed record labels - Warp Records, XL Recordings, Yep Roc Records, Paper Bag Records, and Wavy Haze Records – and become one of Canada’s biggest indie rock exports. The group has toured internationally, supporting renowned artists like Caribou, Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip, The New Pornographers, while also headlining tours throughout North America, UK, Europe, and Australia, with sold out shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg (NYC), Teragram Ballroom (LA), Lincoln Hall (Chicago), Danforth Music Hall (Toronto) and Moth Club (London). Lead singer Luke Lalonde has collaborated with artists like Dan Snaith (Caribou) and his songs with Born Ruffians have been synched in dozens of TV, advertising, and film productions. The band is currently published by Warp Publishing (Oneohtrix Point Never, Slowdive, Khruangbin, Tim Hecker). Their latest trilogy of albums - 'JUICE' (2020), 'SQUEEZE' (2020), and 'PULP' (2021) - were lauded by NPR Music, Rolling Stone, and American Songwriter for the band's hooky left-of-centre pop sensibilities. 'JUICE' and 'SQUEEZE' reached #11 and #10 respectively on the Alternative New Artist Billboard Chart in the USA and single ‘I Fall In Love Every Night’ peaked at #18 on the Mediabase Alternative Radio Chart in Canada. The band’s catalogue currently has over 100M streams across DSPs.
