From out of Aurora, Ontario five small town friends have struck a chord with concert-goers, selling out shows all over Ontario with their high energy live shows and sparkling brand of rollicking suburban indie pop. Ruby Coast have barely been together a year and have already found a winning combination for contagious pop perfection with their boisterous mod-rock and spastic yelps. With their self-released self-titled EP hot off the presses, Ruby Coast promises plenty of dance floor fun.
“Together for just a year and a half, Aurora teenage friends Ruby Coast have yet to release a record, but already have labels fighting tooth and claw to sign their quirky indie pop.”

“Ruby Coast are a near shoo-in to be the buzziest band in the country within the next twelve months …"I Live With Monsters" is far and away the frontrunner for the title of "best song of 2008". The chord progression is instantly memorable, the chorus will never come out of your head, it has an epic build leading to an explosive pay-off, and, best of all, it features a section designed for clapping along. More than anything else on the EP, it demonstrates why Ruby Coast are already making so many people so excited. It's great ending to an even greater EP, and the whole thing should guarantee that by this time next year, everyone will know who Ruby Coast is.”

“The debut EP from Ruby Coast has been playing in a non-stop loop for me… The songs float beautifully, but have enough crunch to make the listen immediate. The subtle instrumentation - like the keyboard that dances behind the melody at the end of Neighbourhoods, the bass line that gets pushed to the front of the mix on Brittle Bones or the chaotic instrumentation that ends I Live With Monsters… and the fact the songs break the two-minute mark are great indicators that this band isn't just another flash in the pan power punk/indie outfit. My crystal ball shows big things happening for this Ontario band.”
