The Ruddy Ruckus

**The Ruddy Ruckus** is a Hamilton, Ontario-based alt-rock outfit that started as a folk-punk solo project by frontman Rob Brown before evolving into a full-fledged garage rock band. Formed in 2012, the group now includes lead guitarist Jackson Dorie, bassist Giordano Modesto, and drummer Patrick Brown, blending punk, classic rock, and Celtic-folk influences into their gritty, high-energy sound. Their 2021 debut album *Wentworth And Main*—featuring raucous tracks like "You And Me"—showcases their knack for loud, guitar-driven anthems tailor-made for sweaty club shows, prioritizing raw energy and singalong choruses.

Known for lyrics tackling love, drama, and everyday struggles, the band pairs heartfelt storytelling with unrelenting riffs, aiming to deliver the kind of electrifying performances that "make 25 people lose their minds" in intimate venues. Their evolution from acoustic demos to a full-band alt-rock powerhouse reflects their commitment to crafting music that’s as cathartic as it is catchy.
