What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Ant feeling unmoved.

I'm still baffled by Warp signing Born Ruffians. All I can think about while listening to their 'I Need A Life' single is what I can have to eat for my dinner. This is a tinny sounding guitar track that's kinda singalong in a laddish way. It fails to evoke any kind of response from me. It's just bland to these ears. On the positive side I'm going to get my dinner. I could even put it in a nosebag and eat it while writing another review but I've come to the end of my pile.

I Need A Life
So Long, Tadpole

Infectious Canadian indie punk; already with Radio 1, MTV2 and BBC 6Music.  ‘I Need A Life’ is the follow up to Born Ruffians’ debut single ‘Hummingbird’ and is another infectious slab of fast-paced indie punk.   ‘Hummingbird’ was Colin Murray’s Record Of The Week on Radio 1, as well as receiving spot plays from Zane Lowe, Steve Lamacq (Radio 2) and Queens Of Noize (6Music), amongst others.
Born Ruffians have already done sessions for 6Music (Queens Of Noize) and XFM (John Kennedy).
Formats backed with a stripped down version of ‘Hummingbird’ and a new non-album track. The 7” format will be on red vinyl.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
