ready for radio
I listened to this song five times, and believe me, I think this one is ready for the radio!
everything about it screams for radio attention. Stardom is waiting for this band, the vocals give the right emotion, drums aren't over played, the guitars are smooth and the bass is spot on, this band has it. I give two thumbs up, great art work guys, great song writing. I hate you !!

About Ruined for Life
Ruined for Life is a central Indiana based band with various rock influences. The 4-piece band all started after Frankie B. erupted out of a 10-year doldrums with a cluster of rock songs. Frankie 'hit the road' playing solo acoustic sets anywhere he could. Playing songs that were inspired by some of his darkest days, he knew that this was just the beginning. Armed with his "always on" vocals and passionate songwriting, Frankie looked to fill out his band.
Adding bass player Trent Martin, who Frankie had to convince to leave beautiful southern California to join his band. Trent injects equal passion and commitment (you have to be committed to move out of Orange Co. to Indiana) to the Ruined for Life sound.
Pounding out the rhythm is drummer Kyle Manship. Kyle brings an endless knowledge of music to the bare bones rock sound of Ruined for Life. His playing style exhibits strong focus and his knowledge of many different playing styles. He also serves as the band studio aficionado.
Tysen Adams is the newest member (no relation to Frank). Tysen and Frank played music together long ago in a land far far away, but after a 12-year hiatus from music; Tysen has quickly come back to power as a force at lead guitar
Ruined for Life is still in their infant stage but already causing a buzz in the local music scene. Look for bigger and better things as Ruined for Life begins to gel and makes rock its bitch.
