Ruiner breaking up

Official press release: After six years, 700+ shows, several releases, countless tours of North America, Europe, Australia and Asia, Ruiner will be calling it a day in October 2010 (as October 5th is the anniversary of the band's first show). Vocalist Rob Sullivan commented: "This wasn't an easy choice to make. All of us started playing in bands when we were in middle school and for the first time in 12-13 years, some of us won't be having band practice on a weekly basis. But we know this is a choice we needed to make. We always ran this band at 100% and some of us now feel like we don't have the desire to tour anymore. We aren't the kind of band who wants to release records and rarely play the music, so we decided it is now an appropriate time to hang it up. We got to see the world a few times over and with that met a lot of incredible people. We will all be forever grateful for that, but we know this decision is the right one to make. I'm sure I could give many more reasons as to why, but the gist of it is if this band can't be done at full speed, we feel it is better to stop." Ruiner released their third full-length for Bridge Nine Records, Hell Is Empty, in September of 2009 and have been on tour non-stop around the globe in support of it. Throughout their career, the band has shared the stage with Sick of It All, Propagandhi, Agnostic Front, Bouncing Souls, Anti-Flag, and countless others. Bridge Nine owner Chris Wrenn commented: "It's a sad day at B9HQ. Ruiner was one of the best and hardest working bands the label has ever worked with and we are sad to see them throw in the towel, but understand the circumstances. We wish them all the best of luck with their future endeavors." Ruiner has a European tour scheduled this July with Carpathian which will go on as scheduled, as well as a highly-coveted appearance at the sold out This Is Hardcore festival in Philadelphia on August 15th. Ruiner will schedule their final show in early October.

What's up with all these boring breakups with farewell tours. I want to read about fights and messy falling outs.

Go out with a bang SANS final show! If people care they'll ask for you. But if not, oh well, you broke up for a good reason.

prettymetal 6/4/2010 1:32:07 PM

falling_down 6/5/2010 8:36:05 PM

awesome band. glad i saw them play here not too long ago one last time.

notapuma 6/6/2010 1:09:15 AM

singer was a dick in australia, totally turned me off them, not sad they're breaking up.

Doucheface 6/6/2010 7:26:22 AM

And where exactly in the band name or lyrics does it say he's supposed to be a nice guy? Best thing about him is that he calls motherfckers out on stage and doesn't give a fck.

notapuma 6/6/2010 8:31:23 AM

sounds like a good dude, would rather spend my money on people who appreciate the fact that people come support their band, lifes to short to waste time on fcks like that.

binghamtonsfinest 6/6/2010 3:35:30 PM

now that's not so "hardcore" of you!

Bummer, very much liked seeing this band. Will be missed.
