Hamilton, ON rockers The Ruddy Ruckus recently released their new single "Bloodbath", and to celebrate we asked frontman Rob Brown to tell us about the song. Here is the story:

"Bloodbath" is an angry song disguised as a stadium rock banger. A lot of changes and loss have happened to the band over the last few years. In 2019, we were approached by our friend and mentor, Steve Parton, to manage the band. Steve had been fighting cancer for a number of years but it seemed that he had got a handle on it and was ready to begin a new career as an artist manager after selling his music school which he had spent years building into an important cornerstone of the Dundas music community. He started planning a tour for the band that would take us to Montreal and back to act as stepping stone to another tour of the North Eastern United States. Our first dates were booked for June 2020, and by that time all of the venues that we had booked were still closed as the first lockdowns and COVID restrictions remained in place. Our tour was cancelled and we were left wondering what to do. (continue)
