Born Ruffians 'Red, Yellow & Blue'

Born Ruffians' short, sharp, spastic songs sound exactly like Modest Mouse circa The Fruit That Ate Itself: post-Pavement guitar klang, sharp-teeth’d hick balladry, hip-hop-ish hard-cadence/hype-chorus/beat-boxin’ vox. Frontman Luke LaLonde suitably gets his Isaac Brock on: all herky-jerky rhythms and an adenoidal whine he sometimes slurs into mock drawl. That derivative nature reads bad in print, but plays well on disc. The raw recording, amped-up energy, joyous exuberance, and lack of self-consciousness the Toronto trio ride on their debut album —especially three minute crankers like “Badonkadonkey” and “Hedonistic Me”— serves as a salty antidote to Modest Mouse's sad decline into bloated, flaccid festival behemoth.
