Info:

The band debuted at the famed San Francisco punk rock venue the Mabuhay Gardens in December ’83. Soon after, the band changed their line-up and recruited long time friend Dan Moura on bass and vocal legend Carl Albert. With the dual guitar sound of Craig and Chris along with Luke’s powerhouse drumming, Carl’s powerful and melodic vocals had given the band the sound they had been looking for. Ruffians then hit the Bay Area club circuit with a bang! Ruffians played many shows throughout their carer securing support slots for bands such as UFO, Alice Cooper, Dokken, Queensryche, Saxon, Y&T and Slayer.
In January 1985 Ruffians entered Studio D in Sausalito, California to lay down tracks for their debut album. Released in May worldwide and quickly picked up by over 200 College Radio Stations in the United States as well as charting in Europe and Japan. The album received great reviews from the international and domestic press, and the band’s fan base grew much larger. “Run For Cover” was released on a Restless Record’s Compilation; “Eastern Front-Live at Ruthie’s Inn” and “Wasteland” was featured in Cannon Films American Ninja II, a cable TV classic to this day.
Despite all this, Carl felt the need to leave the band at the close of 1985.
