Lowdown 02:39
Lowdown lyrics J. Mckenzie/Z. McCormick You never asked me real questions You never asked me how I'm doing I'm livin' free but I'm strugglin' To live within my means And keep my nose clean Try and stop feeling Lowdown Forever You never asked me real questions You don't care if I'm lying I've been out tonight Oh I feel alright No one knows my name Sounds alright to me Try and stop feeling Lowdown Forever

Sad Eyes 03:35
Sad Eyes Lyrics Z.McCormick/J.McKenzie Lonely Who abandoned you Fragile Fled the nest too soon Fragile But strong enough to try Lonely Barely getting by Share your burden with mine Who knows what secrets you hide Little Sad Eyes Mystery Where did you come from Guarded A wall for everyone Guarded Save a smile for me Mystery All that you could be Share your burden with mine Who knows what secrets you hide If you stay by my side I promise you

Mayday 02:58
Mayday Lyrics Z.McCormick/J.McKenzie No light for nine months Cold and distant since the fall Pale faces in a window Waiting and watching Can't bear another season Four walls become a cage and I'm Still waiting on a reason Waiting on Mayday Hurry save me Mayday Unchained on sunday No light for nine months Emptiness is blanketing and I Hear the echoes on the pavement Watching and waiting Can't bear another season Need some blood to fill my veins and I'm Still waiting on a reason Waiting on Mayday Hurry save me Mayday Unchained on sunday

Pursuit Special Lyrics J. McKenzie/Z.McCormick Harder to pretend That I'm special like you Easy looks so easy And they love you oh they do I want it I need it I want it Why not me Harder to pretend That we'll make it Easy watch them line up Just to talk to you Like we used to I want it I need it I want it Why not me

Stay Home 04:29
Stay Home Lyrics Z.McCormick/J.Mckenzie A stillness Has moved in I'll listen All weekend Nursing The proof and I'm deadened The truth is I need another summer to pass Stay home And the mornings Are the worst because it's plain All the distance And the mess that's taken shape And if I could be certain You would never forget I might just find The strength to leave this bed I need another summer to pass I'm wasting Wasting time in shrinking spaces Stay home

about

Our new EP, "Pursuit Special" was named after Mad Max's black V8 muscle car as a nod to the rapid pace that we were working under to release this project.

With the help of Ali Jaafar and Ecstattic Studio, we were able to record, mix, master, manufacture and release this tape in just under 27 days.

Blue Ruin Minneapolis, Minnesota

In early 2011, four kids from South Minneapolis formed a band. Drawing equal influence from their time in the trenches of the Twin Cities Punk scene and the dusty grooves of their favorite Soul and R&B records, Blue Ruin created a raw, guitar driven sound with an emphasis on the groove. ... more
