Little Garcon

So I'm pretty excited about this music blog, probably because of the excess amount of good music I've managed to come across in the past while. Our band today is one of my favorite new bands. They go by the fitting name of Born Ruffians. They're a three piece band based out of Toronto. They consist of Luke LaLonde (guitar/vocals), Mitch Derosier (bass) and Steven Hamelin (drums). Their sound is difficult to describe. People who enjoy attaching genres to bands may classify them as indie folk, however even this description is quite broad for such a unique and slightly unusual sound. They have a raw unedited sound as if they're having a jam session right in your living room. Their guitar and bass riffs are simple yet ingenious. The thought has come to my mind more than once that the lead singer's voice would make Bob Dylan proud. The relatively small size of the group is compensated for with talent and ambition. The lead singer (Luke LaLonde), in an interview, explained that because there are so few instruments in the band he often incorporates his voice as a fourth instrument. In short Born Ruffians are awesome. They're clever, catchy and all around charming. Give them a good honest listen and I'm sure you'll love them just as much as I do. Our song today comes from their first album Red, Yellow and Blue.
