"Let''s all drink to the Death of a Band"
Billy Ruffian met over house doubles and potent cocktails in a series of city centre dives, and their continuing existence can be compared to dancing on the deck of the Titanic.
In their short, tempestuous, history, they have stumbled to the edge of oblivion and back, leaving former members and shell-shocked crowds trailing in their wake. The meeting of frontman Stephen Ruffian''s arch lyricism, Thom Cuell''s dandy pretentions, a clattering drum machine and Ben Paul''s lo-fi sensibilities make the Ruffian a unique melting-pot of sound: Manchester''s only truly exciting new band.
Billy Ruffian''s lyrical concerns centre around mythology, demonic possession, lost love and the banality of ''everyday life''; these idiosyncratic themes, melded with proper pop hooks and killer choruses, persuaded Filthy Little Angels Records to take a chance on the band, first including their debut single ''Death of a Band'' on the Christmas compilation ''Hark the Filthy Angels Sing'', and then commissioning the album ''My Secret Life'', which was released in May, accompanied with the split 7" of ''Music vs. Money''
Billy Ruffian hope that their songs will keep them out of the workhouse. Let’s all drink to that.
