Ring in 2026 with Midland's own Born Ruffians! The band - Luke Lalonde, Mitch Derosier, and Steve Hamelin - rose to prominence in the aughts indie blog era and since that time, they’ve become one of Canada’s biggest indie rock exports, releasing 9 albums and 3 EPs on some of the world’s most acclaimed record labels - Warp Records, XL Recordings, Yep Roc Records, Paper Bag Records, and their newly-minted Wavy Haze Records.
In 2025 they returned with “Beauty’s Pride”, with new band member Maddy Wilde in tow. Here, the band set out to create a record that sounds like it was made in 2025: it's a maximalist indie rock album that embraces hi-fi production techniques. It presents Born Ruffians as the rare veteran act that can still make you feel like you’re discovering your new favourite band.
