From the mountains of Utah to the trenches of Vimy Ridge, Elliott BROOD’s songs have travelled the gore and glory of history in equal measure for nearly a decade. The Canadian trio are excited to return to the UK this April with a string of live dates as part of their European tour (full dates below).

FROM THE NEW DELUXE EDITION OF THE ACCLAIMED ‘LOOKING BACK’ EP - LISTEN HERE 

“[The Ruts] stood out on so many levels [...] As a kid, I think it was more instinct that told me The Crack was an important record, but as an adult, I can dig the individual components far more. Now, I can completely understand that Segs and Ruffy were a phenomenal rhythm section and that Paul Fox was a guitarist’s guitarist. Then there was Malcolm Owen – and there’s still nothing like that voice.” - Henry Rollins, 2019

“The criterion was always that we would play to anyone anywhere and never go grovelling to the music papers or to the record companies. We left it to them to approach us.” - Dave Ruffy, The Ruts, 1979

You may know that every year, I make my poor brother sit through the entirety of THE BRIT AWARDS (or is it just THE BRITS nowadays) to provide some commentary on the movers and shakers that the major record company bosses are showering with money these days, from what I saw on the socials with Sam Smith turning up in an over-inflated gimp suit, there will be much to cover so let’s get cracking…..

A cold Saturday night on Plymouth’s Mutley plain, not the place I would have chosen to be unless I had a reason to be there but luckily for me, I did have a reasons to be there, I had a ticket to a gig at The Underground to see Bristol based 4 piece punk outfit CUFFS who were being supported by three immense acts, No-Robell, Fluff & The Likelihood.

We caught up with Emily and threw a ton of questions at her, some of them stuck, here’s her answers to the ones that did…..

After a riotous night at The Underground when they last played, Plymouth once again welcomed THE VELVET HANDS as they showcased tracks from their new album SUCKER PUNCH
