RUINERS - Blank Your Life! EP 1999

Early morning, always a shitty time, but the next record changes that: the Ruiners were a four piece from Cleveland and consisted of Chris (vocals), Paul (guitars), Bobby (bass), Wedge (drums) and this is their lone EP with seven superb Nineties Hardcore goodies and 300 copies were pressed and released via Non-Commercial/Bloodclot Records. The songs address personal pain and frustration, delivered with a "violent vehemence" and a defiant attitude and the lyrics are introspective, yet accessible to a wide audience, and I'm sure many of you can relate to them. They focus on failed relationships and general life frustrations without descending into melodrama. Add to this is the high-energy sound, which characterizes the raw, unadulterated form of classic Hardcore, blending melody and aggression. It's consistently intense, and anyone who enjoys a wild, aggressive sound will be well served. Enjoy a coffee with it and come good through this day!
