Ruskin

About Me

Ruskin is the new name of Stay Puff, which is all four members of The Holiday Plan
We did some very fun stuff with that band, but it all got a bit out of hand, and we called it a day in 2005. Come 2006 we realised it was time to stop being silly and start playing again, so we did under the name Stay Puff. Again we realised we should stop being silly and we changed our name to Ruskin which is where we are now.
At the moment we are in the process of recording. We are re-recording 'You Got The Look', '100 Handslap' and 'Cool Your Jets, Kiddo' and recording 'Shank And Shine', 'Big Footed Woman' and 'Less Degeneration'. Hopefully we'll have these finished and some photo's and all the other shiz you need these days done in the very near future. Once we've got all that together, we can start rolling. Then once we're rolling we're away. This is our masterplan. So check back soon for new music, photo's and exciting magical stuff...
In the meantime, let's all just keep it light...

Sign-up to our mailing list and we'll let you know about gigs in your area and all the normal sort of stuff. I promise we wont hound you with bullshit!

Sounds Like: ’Slacker pop with shades of Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr , Pavement and Nirvana. Pretty neat…melodic lines and an effortless punked out grunge rocknroll is born.’

Bugbear Promotions

’[Ruskin] got together in London just this year, and somehow already sound like stadium punks. Their songs are mosh-pit anthems, with chant-along vocals, jagging guitars and bouncing rhythms.’
