Classic Ruins
Forget About It
Ever wonder what your local "bar band" would sound like if they acknowledged the likes of The Replacements and Ramones, just as much, if not more so than your typical beer-breath blues rock? Bostons long-running Classic Ruins just might be a relatively close answer to such a quandary. "Our style is what I guess you'd call garage rock, or something," says Frank Rowe, guitarist, songwriter, artist, father of two, and long-time frontman for Boston's Classic Ruins. Known for quick-paced, punchy songs packed with hooks, raunchy guitar work, deadpan vocals - and a sardonic, low-brow sense of humor - the Ruins were regulars on the Boston club circuit for several years before the release of their 1986 debut, 'Lassie Eats Chickens', and follow up 'Ruin's Cafe'. Today, the band returns from the junkyard and garage with their brand new release FORGET ABOUT IT.
