Born Ruffians are well on their way through their supporting slot on Tokyo Police Club's farewell tour, and now the band have some new material to share with audiences along the way.
The Toronto-based group have now shared "What a Ride," their first new material since 2021's PULP.
Bandleader Luke Lalonde had this to say about the track:
What a ride starts in a tattoo parlour at one in the morning, an impulsive time to get permanently marked with ink and the narrator is having second thoughts. They are reassured (or maybe reassure themselves) their flesh is not permanent, that they might as well draw some stuff on it because at some point it's going to rot off their dead bones. "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a Ride!'" - Hunter S. Thompson.
