The Toronto band's fourth album, "RUFF," saw them return to a sparser, more direct sound after the more layered arrangements of their previous record, "Birthmarks." Recorded with producer Roger Leavens, the album is a concise statement of purpose from a band hitting its stride.
- "RUFF" was recorded at Union Sound Studio in Toronto.
- The album was released on Paper Bag Records, a label with a roster that includes Feist and The New Pornographers.
- The release marked the band's first album after parting ways with their original drummer.
Born Ruffians are a Canadian indie rock trio formed in 2004, known for their taut, energetic live shows and distinctive vocal melodies. At the time of "RUFF," they were four albums into a career marked by persistent touring and a growing catalog of idiosyncratic guitar-driven songs.
