2006, The band debuted at the famed San Francisco punk rock venue the Mabuhay Gardens in December '83. Soon after, the band changed their line-up and recruited long time friend Dan Moura on bass and vocal legend Carl Albert. In early 1989 the band split up, but the fans and supporters remained to this day, making a Ruffians reunion a reality when the band was invited to play Germany's legendary Bang Your Head Festival in June of 2004. Hellion Records re-released the bands original 1985 album on CD with live bonus tracks as well as a Limited Edition Collector's Vinyl with previously unreleased tracks to coincide with the bands 2004 reunion shows. This would be the bands first ever time playing overseas. Ruffians were received with rave reviews and had realized that their worldwide cult status was still alive and well 15 years later!
The first edition of this album (3,000 copies) will include the Exclusive Bonus Track "Risen" and will be available as slipcase edition.
