New Album ~

The band has finished recording half of the new album and will re-enter the studio towards the end of the year to complete the recordings for an early 2006 release. Craig explains" The album has been a slower process than anticipated especially since we are taking on Europe this Fall, but we do promise all of you a release early next year. The band is excited about the new material which is definitely in the tradition of Ruffians."

Cheers ~ Ruffians
