Website: Facebook/Myspace 

Similar Sound: Life Long Tragedy/Killing The Dream

Info:

Ruiner was a fast, but Melodic Hardcore band from Baltimore, Maryland. They released three LPs(I Heard These Dudes Are Assholes, Prepare To Be Let Down, and Hell Is Empty). They also released two EPs(What Could Possibly Go Right, and Dead Weight).

 

Ruiner's fairly hyped, proper Bridge 9 debut might come as a bit of a surprise to anyone who skipped over the album's teaser 7", The Lives We Fear, released several weeks ago. The band hasn't necessarily gone any sort of drastic stylistic makeover -- they're still playing fast and foreboding, semi-melodic hardcore in the form of desperate heartwrenching moment after desperate heartwrenching moment, but a few traits have been tweaked along the way.
