Ocean Ruins

**Ocean Ruins** is an indie rock duo from Chicago known for their moody blend of emo, post-punk, and introspective lyricism. Siblings Jake (vocals/guitar) and Lily (bass) started the project in 2017, later teaming up with drummer Marcus to flesh out their raw, emotionally charged sound. Tracks like “Teen Drama” and “Broken Toys” showcase their knack for pairing gritty guitar riffs with lyrics that dig into nostalgia, heartache, and the messy parts of growing up. With a DIY ethos, they self-produce their music and design their own grungy album art, earning them a loyal following in the underground scene. Recent releases like “Tell Me Where You Are” and “Love Drunk” keep their signature vibe alive—think late-night drives, angsty poetry, and melodies that stick like glue.
