Blue Ruin is a punk-inspired band consisting of 5 bad babes from Auckland, New Zealand: Charlotte Tybalt, Anna Monteith, Elettra Pizzale and Louisa Maria. Inspired by all things scary and fun, Blue Ruin brings an immersive and colorful sound.
Their sound is influenced by various genres including punk, hardcore, pop punk, hard rock, riot grrrl and metal. With fast-paced riffs and mesmerizing stage performances, Blue Ruin sets audiences on fire. Blue Ruin embodies the down-to-earth culture of the New Zealand people and exudes a sense of effortless, light-hearted fun. After touring across New Zealand, Europe and the UK, they have made it their goal to continue disrupting the punk rock scene. With the release of their debut album, Hooligans Happy Hour, fans can expect songs that reflect Blue Ruin’s playfully dark sound, with more guitar solos, moody baselines, heartbreaking drumbeats and somber vocals than ever before. Having enjoyed much success over the years, with opening slots for icons such as Misfits, Cherie Currie and Steel Panther, Blue Ruin will continue on its way. Blue Ruin enjoy rocking out, not taking things too seriously but with awareness in their lyrics about issues of fear, sexism, relationships and societal expectations. With a beautifully refined style and a sound that reminds us that beauty lies in darkness, Blue Ruin encourages us all to join us on this journey of freedom, self-expression and good old-fashioned fun.
