Yesterday we were trying to write a short description in under 150 words of the Billy Ruffian for an NME band profile page thing - you know the sort, it's trendy for everyone to have one now. We tried to submit it but NME's website is so bad that it ate the page and we couldn't be arsed re-entering it all. This is what we went for:

Do you like the Twang? Do you love New Young Pony Club? Then f*#k off. That's right, you heard me. What are you reading about music for? Just turn on Radio One and get spoon fed like everyone else. Billy Ruffian are the hard edged sound of the streets. The streets of Manchester. Streets where there are guns. And knives. Yeah that's right, knives motherf*#ker. The Nu Grime sound of the Ruffian will cut you right across your stomach and your intestines will flop out like rubbish sausages. How do you like that, c*#t? "Sharp-edged, occasionally satirical, often boisterous and sometimes sensitive, indie pop." Steve Lamacq. "A triumph, the best film since Citizen Kane" Paul Ross.

I think it sums us up well. Check our Billy Ruffian Myspace for some example songs.
