“I gave up on metaphors and acts of sarcastic wit. “ RUINER’s debut, Prepare To Be Let Down, begins with this line and sets the tone for the remainder of this 12-song blast of hardcore punk. Following their debut What Could Possibly Go Right?, which was a joint release between Grave Mistake & Firestarter Records and later released on CD by 1917 Records, RUINER made people take notice. They received rave reviews and began touring anywhere they could to prove to the world that this Baltimore quintet was worth their attention. In the year following the release of What Could Possibly Go Right?they hit everywhere from New Mexico to Sweden and everywhere in between. Lyrically, RUINER’s Prepare To Be Let Down embarks on an album that is an honest and uniquely witty view of what happens when you screw up your own life and deal with the consequences; broken relationships, loneliness, and the consequences of that self-fulfilling bitterness — all addressed in an honest way and screamed passionately and coherently. Musically, RUINER takes hardcore and punk and adds a dark melody along with mixing up song structures and tempos to keep the listener from being able to predict what’s next.
