[Big Cheese Magazine]



"...a rare talent in a genre that is in constant danger of disappearing in a flood of mascara."

"...a marriage of catchy vocals harmonies and enough punk rock balls to allow them to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with any young band from the UK."

"Hailing from a morgue that goes by the name of Peterborough, The Ruined are a band that people may be tempted to write off because the singer looked like he failed an audition for Aiden because he was too skinny. But if you look beyond the whole zombie thing, The Ruined have subtly and skilfully manoeuvred themselves into being one of the UK's most promising young bands. How? Because they write songs that immediately put them leagues ahead of the majority of the chasing pack. Musically, 'Hear Lies' is the album AFI would be making nowadays if they spent less time filming videos and more time actually, y'know, not being rubbish. It's balls-out punk rock all the way here, with some pleasingly deep production that gives proceedings a clear, crisp tone. With a knack for writing choruses replete with at least a year's supply of gang vocals and arms-aloft singalongs, it's belters like “City of the Dead” and “Brains” that show their talents. Using familiar punk sensibilities and marrying them to some catchy structures and intelligent songwriting, they ensure that they won't be forgotten as quickly as some of the other bands peddling tired horror-punk at the moment.

The main reason 'Hear Lies' won't let itself be characterised as a bunch of songs about getting your brains munched is that the whole zombie thing is simply a delivery method. Without wishing to over analyse, it doesn't take a particularly scholarly mind to work out that 'Generation Braindead' and 'Skeleton Crew' are more than just odes to George Romero films. Using a potent metaphor such as this it's easy to see why they have gained so many friends in such a short period of time – if we are mindlessly walking through the 21st Century, consuming all in front of us, surely it was only a matter of time before a band like The Ruined came along? Intelligence masking as dumb fun, sure, but it doesn't stop 'Hear Lies' from being a whole load of fun as well as a late contender for being one of the best albums of the year. ."

PUNKTASTIC.COM


"...They take strong hooks and choruses and up the ante with a coffin full of attitude."

"...Now join the horror punk party and support your local scene by grabbing a copy of this CD."

Peterborough Evening Telegraph


"[concerning the Destructors 666 songs]...alongside The Ruined's pleasingly punchy songs."

Big Cheese Magazine


"...how the Misfits should sound in 2006!!"

Innitonnit Fanzine June


"The Ruined certainly are a band to watch and very capable of writing powerful, catchy, hooky, memorable songs soon to be classics themselves"

"...the best horror rock album of the year by far."

   About The Ruined- Wilhelm Scream 21st August


Metal Hammer article:



Big Cheese article:



THE RUINED are undead punk rockers from hell!

Prepare for a ghoulish rock rollercoaster, bringing together hardcore punk and fast melodic rock! The band want to do something to celebrate all the music they listen to and enjoy. Compared to Hot Water Music, Metallica, The Offspring, The Ramones, AFI, Pennywise and The Misfits. THE RUINED have developed their own style of horror-punk rock with very socially reflective yet ghoulish lyrics and anthemic choruses .

The band was started in 2005 by the singer (Nekro)Shaun originally called 'Flesh Sandwich' later to be 'The Ruined' and within 4 months the band were playing shows with Shaun on bass and a fiend on drums. Soon the band came together with Cream and Dammit on guitar, Barber on bass and AC on drums. The aim was to create a band that would not just play to a punk rock crowd but one that can reach into many genres as well as sounding original. Since their formation THE RUINED have managed to share stages with The Damned, Gallows, Amen, Enter Shikari, The Creepshow, Miss Conduct, Heideroosjes, Love Equals Death and Subhumans amongst other great touring bands. We released our first album 'Hear Lies' on Halloween 2006 with great reviews coming through all the time. And have a follow up EP available too. To purchase these go to www.the-ruined.com now!!

tommorow night i'm running this show, usualy that would be a good thing, but after 8 years of doing jugsout, i still haven't learnt. i've got these 5 bands;

clay pigeon - incredible, policical, ska, punk, hip hop, beatbox from east london just get better and better every time they play, if your in norwich you probably saw them on my birthday, very good very good

the skints - dirty sexy ska dub punk again from east london (two bands on tour together), i saw them at strawberry fair they just fucked me up

7 day conspiracy- snuff meets propagandhi from kent, socialy aware songs, technical songmanship, on various artist records which is simon from snuffs label

sammys fatal mistake- ex members of evil macaroni, not very like evil macaroni, more like if good riddance were street punk if your get me, great fast hard show

the tagnuts- these guys call them selves ska punk gimp core, i dunno but i got drunk for two days with the guitarist and i'd says he's ska punk gimp core, from cambridge

anyway you can prob see these guys are not from norwich, and with 3 other shows on in norwich tomorrow night and a party i'm gunna find it hard to pay these guys there petrol. basically i'm asking you to come to the show, it's the lat jugsout show aswell, it's gunna break my fucking heart if it's empty, i hope you can come, it's £3.50 at the queen charlotte on dereham rd norwich, thanks for reading

ollie jugsout
