extract... RUIN - Leicester's
best-kept secret Ruin, a Leicester band that have
existed for many years, kind of lurking in the "underground"
refining and developing their style from more basic post-punk, blues and rock
roots. ...[referring to Ruin's THE KNITTER]... This disc comprised rehearsal
jams from 10 November 2011, with the usual trio of: Curly and Jack on
guitars, plus Stu on drums, with Wilf featuring on electronics. Just three
tracks of extremely creative music, that indeed showed many influences but
also had a creative spirit unique to Ruin. I guess they'd put themselves into
a special frame of mind and decided to do some post-rock type jams that would
fit the Auricle Music ethos. The fresh vitality, disregard of convention (all
buzzing, crackles and noises are intentional) and spirit of it all reminds me
of Can in their heyday. Put that against their punky roots, and they come up
with surprising results, a bit Public Image, a bit This Heat or Metabolist,
and quite Krautrocky too, akin to the late great Rancid Poultry. Each track
is a surprise, not least the last track which gets a lot more prog, and has a
hint of early Twelfth Night or instrumental Courtyard Moth feel about it! by Alan Freeman in Audion #58, page 23 (autumn 2013) band
