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!!
